Iris in Breeding Plumage – Blanchard Park – March 2015

“Use the talents you possess – for the woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except for the best.” Henry van Dyke

Here’s an ibis in breeding plumage – note the red face feathers. I’ll have a couple more pics like this during the week.

Back To It.

I’ve been out every morning for the past week and a half. All the usual spots. Raining today so I get a chance to review and post.

Here’s a shot of a pelican sitting on the Cocoa Beach pier. It’s a bit blown out, but I was having difficulty capturing the dark feathers and the white head, I think the look on his face is worth a post. I plan on getting back there once or twice in the next few days.

I’ve begun my second Freeman Patterson book, Photography of Natural Things and as usual he has some thought provoking ideas that make me want to be out on the trail observing and photographing.

Planning to go to Blanchard Park this afternoon, haven’t been there in a while and got some great ibis shots and a bittern eating the last time I was there.
