Not sure where you took this, but the Venice Rookery, just a couple of blocks off of US41 in Venice is a must see stop—several varieties of nesting shorebirds on a small island just yards from the pond shore. I love all the action in this shot Sean!
Thanks Laura. Yes, that’s exactly where I took this. I’ve been there a few times. Great place to practice birds in flight shots as they fly back and forth all day.

That’s why Venice, FL is high on my bucket list. One can practically see into the nests! Great shot!

Yes, that’s where this was taken — at the Venice Rookery.
I thought he was bringing in a fish for dinner!
Sort of looks like it, doesn’t it.
That is awesome. And their noise, half crow and half pig.
Wonderful capture! Great blue heron nesting is on and I’ve been shooting at 3 different rookeries in western MA.
Nice. Yes, they do have quite a large range.
