Well i had a fantastic time with Mike and his Buddy John in Merrit island . I even got to try his badboy 600mm tamron. It is by far the best place to see multiple species in large quantities all in the same spot. you could fill a memory card pretty quick if you arent selective with your shots . If you are in the area definatly look up Mike and see if he can spend a few hours with you shooting , he's a really cool guy even if he does drive a dodge ha ha ha :D. Thank you very much Mike for taking me out for the day .

The wood pecker in particular is really good! It's my favorite of the set.
