The clock turned back over the weekend with the return to Standard Time – and that means earlier sunrises.
I took advantage of the time change to visit Orlando Wetlands before work on Monday, enjoying a spectacular cool morning and coming across two new-to-me birds there.
An American Kestrel and a Peregrine Falcon are the new birds I was able to add to my catalog – even through they were pretty far away and the photos weren’t the best.
But I also was entertained by the antics of a couple of Belted Kingfishers, who were noisily flying around catching breakfast, and by some other Wetlands regulars.
