All the surrounding birds stood in the water, fishing. The sudden appearance of the second bird, the subsequent “dance” and then following one another away took me by surprise. It was beautiful, I did get a couple of shots, but mostly I just watched.
The second part of June here in west central FL felt more like August with higher than usual humidity and toward the end some of the higher temperatures from the system west of us. We usually get it gradually, and can adapt so when August arrives the shock to the system is less. We will be doing our annual nature photography class/presentation at Brooker Creek Preserve in July, but due to the early arrival of the August heat it will be all classroom.
