[Oversea] Florida May 2010 - St. Petersberg area

Florida May 2010 - St. Petersberg area

I was in Florida again in May and for the second time visited the west coast around St.Petersbery, Fort Desoto, Lakeland areas.  It was mostly a digiscoping trip as Swarovski had lent me the new STM80HD scope , 25-50x eyepiece, TLS800 and UCA universal adapter ( I did have the Nikon D3s plus 300/4 and 1.4x tele next to me at all times though for the action shots ).
The light was wonderful although very bright on the beaches and it was getting very hot with heat haze after 9.00 am.  So we started shooting at first light , around 7.00 am until 9.00 am and then head off for a big breakfast at the local Denny's and start shooting again around 3.00 pm until sunset at 7.00 pm.
The west coast has less tourists than the east coast and the birds are more approachable.
