Waiting

ORMOND BEACH, FL - - Waiting.  We all do it.  And it's easy to see a reflection of ourselves in the wildlife world around us.  The pelicans in the top photo are patiently waiting for the guy cleaning his catch to throw some guts in the water.  So it's one eye on the on the guts and one eye on the competition for a snack.

     If the middle pic looks familiar it's because the photo is another angle / time of the great blue heron / water pipe shot from a few weeks ago at Viera Wetlands.   The early morning sun on the reeds lends a different touch to the breakfast watch of the bird.

     The final photo would have a lot more meaning if I had been able to capture the bald eagle as he was resting / waiting on the pier railing.  This was not a normal location to see an eagle so while I scrambled to take the pic a group of seagulls harassed the eagle to leave their territory.  The eagle is the largest / darkest object against the cloudy sky.
