Those that know me, know that Florida has a special place in my heart. One of the places I love to photograph is Jupiter Inlet, just outside of the Jupiter Lighthouse. One of the subjects always present feeding on the scraps left by fisherman working the jetty are Ruddy Turnstone.

Although I have several images of Ruddy Turnstone, I still dont have what I think is the perfect Ruddy Turnstone image. These are close, but just missing the drama. I actually think if I could place the bird in the first image against the second image background, I would be pretty close. However, I am a purist when it comes to “documenting” wildlife so that is not an option for my photography. I will have to keep on trying until I can get it right in the camera.

Have a great weekend.
