Paynes Prairie

Lots of birds and gators. We came to photograph the Whooping Cranes that had been reported here. We did not see any of them but several hundred Sandhill Cranes were evident. Also lots of Bitterns, Egrets and Herons.

Gators were here also but not eating on this chilly day with temperatures in the low 50s. These pictures were made with my Canon PowerShotS3, and at 20 to 30 power magnification, handheld.
