Mike's Epic Road Trips 2007 {January}

Viera Wetlands

Brevard County, Florida

I saw lots of Snowy Egrets while making my rounds of the facility.

I was quite enamored by these vistas, unlike anything I had seen before.

Above and the next two shots are of a Anhinga.

 

 

Coots, Coots and more Coots.
In the 3 weeks I have been in Florida I have seen 1000s of them.

This is what a bunch of spooked Coots looks like.

Just about everone at the facility had a camera - most of them with long cannons attached. This guy was hopeful of getting some pics of these Black Vultures.

Gonna sneak up on'em!

Almost close enough!

Rats! Spooked 'em.
