Description

As I said St Augustine Gator Farm is a Much better place for Flight Shots. It offers several good vantage points where you can shoot w/the sun in a favorable location. The Great Egrets, Wood Storks ,Spoonbills and Snowy Egrets all use a GINORMOUS TREE at the north end of the property for nesting. It's like a Huge
Apartment building in the inner city overflowing with a Who's Who of Nesting Wading Birds all flying in & out with nesting material. Once the eggs hatch they will be flying in with food for the chicks. thats when I plan on visiting next year.


Exif: F Number: 6.3, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/1250 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 1250, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 270.00 mm, Model: NIKON D90
