Rod you have become such an accomplished photographer capturing some really fantastic shots here. So, what wildlife magazine are you working for now, hmmm? Great galleries, you do Florida proud.

Of all your excellent galleries, this one is my favorite. Your work is an inspiration. It certainly gets my vote. Now if I can only find a wildlife refuge like Merritt Island somewhere here in Minnesota...

The picture of the Wild Baby Pig made me laugh out loud! These are great pictures for teachers in Florida teaching Florida History to our children. I plan on passing these on to some of my teacher friends. The pictures are fantastic!!! Char

Wow the black skimmer on the water shot is awesome! You must've been at point blank range to get it! Liked your white faced ibis. Now I have seen one with the "white face". Florida was already on my list of places to bird. Now I know another place to visit.

Great pix. Wish I lived near there.

wow - I live 30mins away and had no idea there was such a fantastic photo op in this area. Great pics and now I have an excuse to get some IS L glass :)

outstanding birds & wildlife at refuge. i have digital rebel 100-300mm & wish i had more. seeing these beautiful sights makes me wish we all could join up & make more places small, medium, & large for more wildlife to live. cities are getting sterile. i live in houston, tx, after flooding big talk is concrete ditches. wetlands would be better i think.

Rod,
Love the photos! I would like to get some for a friend who loves wildlife and have them framed for his office at USA. My favorite was the Roseattes - I love the pink. Thanks for sharing.

I am working on getting to the point were I can get some really great picture like you, but I still have a long ways to go.

I wish you would stop putting up photos taken with Canon's 100x400 L lens, it's making me want one.

Very nice images. I really appreciate the in flight images as I know how difficult they can be.
Chuck Hall29-Dec-2003 15:47
Some great shots here. I like the Roseate Spoonbill in flight the best. I have walked this area many a time; but, never saw a wild pig. Good capture. :-)
