Active Morning

Finally was able to get out this morning and get some shots at one of my favorite wetland areas. The sunrise was beautiful with so much bird activity! This was one of my favorite shot of today with all the birds in the air and the solitary Anhinga in the tree top!

Tippy Toe

Out with a photography client at one of my favorite wetland areas, shooting was pretty sparse until we came up on these Black-necked Stilts. I love their pretty little faces and red legs!!
