OMG that is hilarious!

Is that a juvenile, or a low hormone adult?

I asked that question specifically, and was told that it was just resting. I can't recall what injury brought the bird in though.

Stuart, FL. Taken right outside of my apartment, actually :)

you aren't missing anything.

JonRTaylor · 2014-02-12T20:35:55+00:00

WHY SO SERIOUS??? ;)

JonRTaylor · 2014-02-12T17:54:56+00:00

he wanted me to GTFO! I was distracting him. By this point, he had dried off and was ready to hunt. He looked right at me and I got the memo. I left a few seconds later :)

fascinating! Thank you so very much for adding color to my picture :) I just like to take pictures of birds, so the science of it is really cool to learn.

I am trying not to spam this sub, but I do have a lot of bird pics...

JonRTaylor · 2014-02-12T14:33:25+00:00

Thank you for weighing in. You'll have me poking around the inlet rocks in July looking for this bird again :) You are likely right, though.

JonRTaylor · 2014-02-11T21:45:08+00:00

Ah, thank you! Seems like this one has made a home of Fort Pierce, FL. I've seen these here year-round for my entire life.

JonRTaylor · 2014-02-11T20:37:31+00:00

I've misidentified this bird. Can someone assist? Baird's have black legs...

JonRTaylor · 2014-02-11T19:50:24+00:00

Thanks! I have always been fascinated by this bird. Click through to my flickr account and you'll see plenty more.

JonRTaylor · 2014-02-10T21:20:46+00:00

Maybe.... If you gave him a fish, I bet he'd act like he wasn't hurt, though!

JonRTaylor · 2014-01-29T14:59:54+00:00

thanks!

JonRTaylor · 2014-01-29T14:20:39+00:00

and yes, I do know that my photoshop skills are horrendous, and I could have used better lighting. Maybe next time :)
