My first, and only coyote pup encounter...
What an amazing hour this was!
I remember every second of this experience...
I suspected they were in this general area...
I found a spot to hunker down and wait...
After only a minute or two, the first one came out of the woods...
It looked right at me...(1st photo) I thought it would run away, but it didn't... Then another came out... Then, two more!
The whole time, I kept looking over my shoulder for the parents...
They never showed...
The pups played around for a while...
Eventually it just got too dark for me to see anything....
This experience is one of the main reasons I do what I do...

Love all life!!!

Sanibel Island (is amazing!)

These are the two DQ Bald Eagle fledglings... Patches kids...
I walked around their nest tree all day yesterday...
I photographed them in 5 different trees!
They're confidence is growing every day!
This particular tree is great because I can stand directly under them... And they like looking at their reflection in my shiny head...

As a wildlife photographer, you have to work with the available light... Backlit subjects aren't always very desirable...
Thankfully, roseate spoonbills glow beautifully in any lighting, especially backlit!
