Birds, Words, Pics + TV
I got a couple of early presents on Christmas Eve when I visited Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive.
I came across two new-to-me birds: A Grey-headed Swamphen and some Ring-necked Ducks. Plus, I got to photograph some others I have photographed before, including a very pretty House Wren and a timid American Kestrel.
The main thing was that I had photographs. I forgot to charge my camera battery, so I had to ration out what little power there when taking photos.
Last April I photographed a male Indigo Bunting and a female Painted Bunting at Orlando Wetlands. Guess who’s back at the wetlands?
Resplendent in white with just a touch of green and yellow, the chic Great Egrets put on quite a show during breeding season.
On a sunset outing to Orlando Wetlands, I saw a Swallow-tailed Kite next to me at tree level, allowing me to get some great photos.
