For the last three years Spence and Buck, both of Niceville, have intensively photographed the birds and animals around Boggy Bayou in an effort to bring the amazing wildlife of the Choctawhatchee Basin to the public.

The result is a spectacular collection of thousands of images depicting Boggy's feathered and feral inhabitants as they feed, fight, fly and love.
