All of the likely birds of any FL season can be found there and waders and waterfowl are abundant and often close. This &quot;pair&quot; were ideally placed for a dual portrait and for individual shots. Limkins are easy at Vista where there seems to be an unending supply of Apple Snails to feed them.&#160; This Little Blue Heron, on the other hand, is one of only two I saw in FL this trip.<\/p>\n<p>1) Canon SX40HS at 1240mm equivalent field of view. Program with iContrast and -1\/3EV exposure compensation. f5.8 @1\/800th @ ISO 200. 2) Canon SD100HS behind the 30mm eyepiece of the ZEISS DiaScope 65FL for 2565mm equivalent. 1\/200th @ ISO 160. 3) SD100HS at same focal length. 1\/500th @ ISO 320. Both Program with iContrast and -1\/3EV exposure compensation.<\/p>\n<p>Processed in Lightroom for intensity, clarity and sharpness.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-2577\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=2577&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-2577\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=2577&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"https:\/\/psnp.info\/p4td_\/?p=2577&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span>Email<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I am sure I have mentioned, Viera Wetlands in Melbourne Florida is one of my top favorite places to photograph birds.
