Hello, as a passionate birder and wildlife photographer, I am looking for a canoe owner with a little spare time. Since I can’t take pictures and paddle at the same time, I need someone who can paddle on Silver River while I am taking pictures. I would like to stay on the river as long as possible, on two or three days. I will be in Florida from May 26 to June 13 and I prefer weekdays. Anybody interested?

This may not be helpful but I have taken many photos on the Silver from a recreational kayak. There are sit on top/fishing kayaks that are very stable.
I contacted a friend (Ken) that lives near there and he would, but his back is currently giving him trouble. The Sliver is an easy paddle, and the wildlife is very used to people so don’t readily swim or fly away. They also rent canoes and kayaks there. You could easily take photos from a boat you paddled by yourself. Below are a couple of links to threads I posted here in the past. It’s an easy place to take wildlife photos.
