I agree about the birds in Florida. I was in the Everglades, and one day I sat down, and a cormorant flew in next to me, and just stood there within 3 feet of me. It was so close that I couldn't take any pictures of it.Sandpiper (Lin)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03704451520824495064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030770982938673147.post-9139760962394689492008-04-08T16:02:00.001-04:002008-04-08T16:02:00.001-04:00Well, you got 'em!

I've seen plenty of beautiful macro photos of birds, but what I don't fully understand is how it is possible to make both clear and big pics of birds without actually making them fly away? =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030770982938673147.post-40862101281975666272008-04-08T06:52:00.000-04:002008-04-08T06:52:00.000-04:00That's so funny, John.

When I go to Lake Ontairo the little buggars will come right up looking for bread or whatever you have but here in my pond they stay as far away from me as they can and if I make one wrong move they take right off!!!<BR/>I love that funny looking heron!!Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06554593974838511759noreply@blogger.com
