Helpful Posts: Remodeled a 70's house that was a total gut job (Oct-Mar) but it was on a favored lake where I like to go shooting (next images show why I like this area), and then I had a double minuscus repair to medial and lateral sides as well as a nasty pocket of arthritis cleaned out. It's been almost three weeks and I'm pretty much healed up though there is still some soreness under the patella where the arthritis was.
Anyway, was able to take the boat out yesterday and go up to the feed end of the lake where all the wild things were. This was a slow day on the lake but soon all the migratory birds will start coming in and it will be a shooting fest for about five weeks...
Picture heavy but so nice to have a camera back in my hands again where I wasn't shooting out of a car window.

Re: Been out of the loop for too long...
Ouch. Condolences, Chris. For both surgeries, body and house. Hopefully you didn't get any gypsum dust into your photography equipment
Glad to see you back. Wildlife is getting pretty scarce on CiC
Nice set of images and quite the variety. You caught the swallows and anhinga on really photogenic perches. Love the complimentary grey BG also in the anhinga shot. Green herons are such pretty birds. If they are resident around there I'll be interested to see what you do with them in future. And no doubt the osprey nest will be interesting for a few weeks to come. Nice captures of the king birds. That's a species I've never seen in real life. Overall a nice set here. Thanks for sharing.
Yes if this is representative of what's around there I can see why you went through the trouble on the remodel.
