I am still going through images that I never got around to posting when I was still working. And with Covid-19 restrictions it is giving me a chance to go through old images from previous photo trips. These are from one of my favorite National Wildlife Refuges, Lake Woodruff NWR, which is near the community of DeLeon Springs, Florida. The refuge is 21,574 acres of freshwater marshes, 5,800 acres of Cypress and mixed hardwood swamps, 2,400 acres of uplands, and more than 1,000 acres of lakes, streams, and canals. This was from a trip in March of 2005. So it goes back quite a ways! But it is a Great Refuge to photograph in. Especially when the Sandhill Cranes are all over the Refuge!

Nice set, Reed. It’s a wonder it doesn’t get tripped up by all those submerged grasses!
Thanks Eliza! They seem to like cluttered areas with vegetation & grasses! So it is harder to clear images of them.
Very nice photos, Reed! Such a pretty bird!!
Thanks so much Donna! It is one of my favorite NWRs to photograph in! Has to be the right season for my favorite birds though! I really love photographing the Sandhill Cranes! Last year the Sandhill Cranes would just walk up to us and start squawking at us. A little unnerving because they are quite tall! And quite Loud!
Nice photos of this wonderful bird, Reed!
Thanks so much Belinda! It is a great place to photograph! Has to be the right season for the largest variety of Wildlife though!
Nice stuff, Reed. Doesn’t seem to have much of a limp though. 😉
