Proof positive that good things come to those that Wait. Taken yesterday at 2;30 W/SUN PARTIALLY BEHIND A CLOUD. A young lady told me about this raptor last week while we were commenting about the lack of activity at the wetlands. Decided to take a chance before calling it a day and stopped at Green Cay after leaving Wakodahatchee.
VERY GLAD I DID... It was the perfect ending to a pleasant day of shooting !!!!
HAPPY SHOOTING TO ALL
