It’s been difficult finding days to go birding as the calendar has turned to 2024. The weather has not been cooperating with my schedule.
But between clouds and rain showers, I was able to visit my three go-to spots for birding – Orlando Wetlands, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive – in the first two weeks of January.
Here are some of my favorite shots from those trips.
On a cruise with stops in Bahamas, Cozumel and Costa Maya in Mexico and Roatan off Honduras, I added eight new birds to my life catalog.
UCF is one of my favorite places to spend time in the fall, cheering on the Knights football team with my family and friends. But it’s also become a place I like to go to in the spring and early summer, thanks to the variety of birds that call the UCF Arboretum home.
Last year, there were Roseates everywhere at the Wetlands in January and February – but I had not seen nearly as many this year.
