not sure why but the birds in Florida are not scared of people like they are here

I've never understood that either. Up here you couldn't easily get that shot with a 300mm lens, I've tried. But on the Anhinga Trail in the Everglades you can reach out and tickle them under the chin.

 I can't get close to Osprey's Heron's most birds here down there a hole different experience 15' from an Osprey with a fish is unheard of here but down there (un cropped right out of the camera)
