Field Notes and Photos - July 2015

This Osprey - or Fish Hawk - Strikes a Pose

Field Notes is a column I began eleven years ago in the Charleston Mercury newspaper, but as the amount of newsprint space in the 'salmon sheets' has diminished, so has the space for my nature photography. Now when I have a fresh batch of observations I share them via Lowcountry Outdoors. 
Note: These images originate from Southwest Florida!
