The birdlife in Florida is simply awesome. The birds are big, friendly and full of color. During the Spring breeding and nesting season, many spectacular species concentrate on nest building, attracting members of the opposite sex, and feeding their young and thus they ignore people. This allows us photographers to GET CLOSE - which is a great thing when it comes to photographing birds. We'll point our cameras at a variety of herons, egrets, storks, ibis, terns and other wildlife as we tour the best bird places on Florida's east coast. We'll capture the AWESOME feeding frenzy of Osprey and various Terns diving for fish after fish. This is an ALL NEW tour started first in 2022, with ALL NEW locations and experiences. Participants will get EXCELLENT images. Travel with an area expert who knows exactly where to be to get the best photos.
