Great series Alan!
These are a few weeks old. I actually just got back from 2 weeks of travel for work (UK and Belgium). Right before I left, I tried again for the short eared owls....but fog had rolled in there at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge.
Fog can work....
While dehaze can do a lot to clean these images up, I do like to present it close to how it appeared while there, which was pretty foggy.

I'm not sure if that's called fog or not, but I love seeing photos from just above the cloud or fog.
by the way, I remember some lens company has a frog coating for their lenses. When I go from a much cooler place into a much warmer place, I get a fog coating. I didn't even pay extra!

I am up here in New Hampshire, USA. We do tend to get fog, mostly in the spring and fall. But at Parker River, that is right on the ocean. It was actually a great day inland with sunny skies and warm temperatures. The fog was just probably within 200 yds/meters of the ocean, which makes sense as the warm moist air was from inland was probably hitting its dew point as it collided with the cool air above the cold ocean forming the fog.
One picture of the sun breaking through the fog as I waited for the shorty:
Ok, this is a BIF thread....Back to Florida in late February...still have most of the second day to go through. But I did like this sequence. In real time, I just threw up my camera at a Fish Crow flying by. I did see it briefly stutter in flight, and captured this sequence:
Apparently, not interested....

Better day today - I go to that location (after I already got the Red-footed Booby!) for two reasons: To shoot a Masked Booby or a Great-frigate Bird. I have some mediocre (bad actually!) photos of the last and none of the first (Masked are not very common here).
Today: first two photos are of Wedge-tailed Shear-water.
After that: Typical (for Hawaii - white tailed!) Red-footed Booby (adult), young Red-footed and the not typical for Hawaii black-tailed form (well on that day I saw and photographed at least 10-15 of them!). All these are old photos - for comparison.
The last (and worst! - I have to go many more times to get one acceptable!): the Masked Booby. New species in my collection!
