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.

Taking pictures of Roseate Spoonbills in different lighting – at sunrise or sunset – really shows the differences in their colors.
I’d met their parents before, but I finally got to see the two Barred Owl owlets at the Orlando Wetlands
