This is on my "to do" list ... get down to Cape Coral to see these little guys. Great capture, Norman.
Norman Johnson replied:
I think you will love it Helen. The best times for photo opportunities are early and late in the day. Use midday to scout out potential sites. Birds will be out but not as active.
