When hundreds of different types of birds suddenly take off, there’s usually a good reason.
When it happened on Saturday morning at the Orlando Wetlands Park, the reason was easy to understand – namely two Bald Eagles circling around.
After flying around for a bit, the two eagles landed in a tree – almost seemingly to enjoy the chaos they created. One finally took off, but the other stayed to savor the mayhem.
As I have seen in Osceola County, there is another threat for the Snail Kites’ survival: Our growing human population.

The Barn Swallows at Lake Apopka usually hang out around a bridge where they nest. Sometimes they might sit on a railing or a nearby bush.
