Wonderful. What time of year? Or does it matter there?

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

John - I like December and January for my trips down there ..... But all year long can be good. Of course the mid summer months can be HOT ....

Nice images. I love burrowing owls. I have been down in south Florida in late December, early Feb. and in late June. I've never been without seeing lots of birds. Can't wait to go back. I'll probably head down in June or at the end of August.

We have so many birds in Florida - I'm afraid to go out without a shower cap on... :rofl:

Beautiful shots Bob, I hope I can get to Florida one of these days and shoot some birds- there certainly doesn't seem to ever be a shortage of them there! :)

I was thinking January. My wife hates heat so it's Nova Scotia for summers. We've been as far south as Daytona and Cape Canaveral but would like to go farther. Glad to hear Jan is a good month for it. Last time we were down there ('04) was after a couple of hurricanes and a waitress told us they had changed the state nickname from "The Sunshine State" to the "Blue Tarp State".

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
