At a time when many birds have left the area for summer, it’s good to visit the year-round residents at the UCF Arboretum.
Granted, they’re not a very exotic group – Red-shouldered Hawks, Northern Mockingbirds, Eastern Bluebirds, Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers and different woodpeckers. But it’s always great to be able to spot them and photograph them in the backwoods of campus.
Here are some images from trips to UCF from the week of July 23, including one subject who didn’t have any feathers.
A Snowy Egret stopped by to grab a little lunch at the Cypress Boardwalk at the Orlando Wetlands Park. Fortunately for me, I got photograph the whole thing.
