Lumix DMC-ZS-40 - I bought it to take on a vacation a year ago. In the pre-digital days I had a Canon EOS SLR with a couple of lenses. Still have it somewhere. I actually like this better.Hi Bob - congrats on a great pic - have never gotten that close to an egret. I use a Panasonic Lumix 14 MP camera (DMC-FP3) which is a nice compact 'point & shoot' as you describe - assume you had a similar or perhaps the same model? I use to be a big camera buff in the pre-digital days but no longer.
Wife & I have been to Delray Beach well over a dozen times (her parents use to have a condo on the intracoastal waterway - may have mentioned that in my travelogue on Ft. Lauderdale?) and would often venture outside the town but do no believe that we ever visited the Wakodahatchee Wetlands - another one to add to my list when we return to FL. Dave
I need to get a slide scanner, as I have a few hundred slides of pictures that I'll probably never get the opportunity to take again.
You need to go to Wakodahatchee, the wildlife is so close, it's almost like cheating. My other favorite places are the Everglades National Park, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge near Kennedy Space Center, and Rich Grissom Memorial Wetlands near Viera.
I grew up near Ft. Lauderdale, so South Florida nature sites are more familiar to me.
I'm not really a camera buff, but I like pushing the button. It's a reason to get out into nature. Here in Florida the easiest nature viewing are the birds, so I have mostly that.
