Nice pics Kevin. Was that you with the camouflaged 500 on tripod and a smaller white lens on your shoulder? Sure had some good light today. :)

Were you in a sniper outfit with the branches attached to you so no one or thing could see you?  Looks like a great place to shoot wildlife.

Josh, if you're willing to do some hiking, there are more opportunities away from the bridge/boardwalk where most people hang around. See ya out there.

Those shots of the red-tail are beautiful!

I probably wont be out there for a while, I'm gonna try and bring a friend too, she likes outdoor photography, so the hiking will depend.

Nope, not me. I do not have any covers on my lens or a tripod. It's a cool place to shoot from, you can see anything from a Stingray to an Osprey. And It's FREE!
