    Here's another bird from Florida, I only had my 200mm lens with me so I had to crop this a bit. I wasn't planning on doing any birding down in Florida but I wish I had put my 2x extender in the bag, I won't make that mistake again.

    The area I was in was pretty built up but I saw on a map a state park on the gulf so I took a short ride there. It was called Honeymoon Island State Park and in the park was a nature trail named The Osprey Trail and this was a very accurate name. There were several nests not far from the trail and many Osprey flying around. Here's one of the ones I was pretty close to.

    ps. since I named the bird how about IDing its meal
