SW Florida Workshop Day 4

Tiger Tail Beach, Marco Island was the location for today.  The weather was perfect for the beach and the birds.A plethora of peeps including the least sandpiper.  All the images in the gallery were photographed with a Canon 7D and a 500mm F4.  A Reddish Egret flew in and entertained us for quite a while: An Osprey nest provided some great photo ops with parents flying in with fish - feeding the the single chick.We decited to take a break and head for lunch.  Dark clouds rolled in and while at lunch we had torrential rain.  Fortunately we got a few breaks in the afternoon and were able to photograph a few burrowing owls on the island.  We then headed back and further to Cape Coral for more Owls.  The following are images from both locations.
