This lighting worked especially well with the pink Roseate Spoonbills, who were settling in for the night in trees around the Cypress Boardwalk.
Throw in some little birds and some bigger ones, and overall it was a great evening.

The variety of birds and other wildlife that you can see at Lake Apopka is pretty amazing, especially considering its sorry state just a few years ago.
This year, I’ve been trying to explore different areas – including Gator Creek, East Gator Creek and Biolab roads. They offer a great habitat for wading birds and more.
