So I couldn't make it to the Merrit Island shoot this year, but I did manage to meet up with Harry at the Viera Wetlands.

7. This Anhinga family didn't seem to mind the cameras at all.

Spectacular series Glenn! It looks like you used flash in some of these for fill and you handled that very well. Caracaras can be quite skittish, but that is a beautiful almost head on flight shot. The limpkins are wonderful. I love the greenie and that first scaup image as well. :thumb:barb

At first I thought your title meant you and Harry were blasting a German car with shotguns.:D

Wonderful set, Glenn.:thumb

I like the red-bellies and the family shots.:clap

Great collections, as always Glenn. :clap
I liked the Scaup very much, the Caracara is well done too. But my favorite is the Anhingha family!
VW is truly a bird photographers dream come true.
