Birds, Words, Pics + TV
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.
I photographed this pair of Sandhill Crane colts when they were just two days old. Now, they are a little more than a week old.
There have been flamingos in the Indian River before, but it is pretty rare. I got up very early on a Saturday morning to try to get some pictures of them.
I’ve previously only taken still images of these amazing pink birds, who have been hanging around Merritt Island since 2023.
