Morning at Viera

[tony-b]

To be honest, I wasn't expecting anything to post from a drive through the Viera Wetlands but I was wrong. It's still not as active as years past but it was good to see a variety hanging out.

#1 - We spotted this eagle as we were heading towards the exit and saw him land on top of a utility pole just outside the main gate. He was nice enough to hang out for a while and even did some screeching (very cool). There's some significant cropping here but I was excited to get these.

#5 Vultures waiting. I saw these two against a blank sky and knew I wanted this in B&W

Eagle was a big plus but the cranes should keep you busy for quie a while.

Thanks, Randy. I was also happily surprised to have a decent outing at Viera.

Thanks, Allan. Plan on going back in a couple days to see how things are at the nest.
