We'll be meeting at Lake Morton in downtown Lakeland and then we'll visit some of the premier birding sites in Polk County. We want to meet at around 8:00 a.m. to take advantage of the early light and the feeding time of most water birds. Around 11:00 a.m., we'll take a break for lunch, review some of the images, and discuss the afternoon shoot. Then, by 2:00pm, we will go to another location for more instruction and great chances to capture beautiful images with the afternoon light. Please make sure you confirm your participation to this event.
