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.
One of the things I love about visiting the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is you never know what you might see. On Sunday, July 16, I saw some birds I expected and one that was unexpected.
After my Ghost Crab sighting at Playalinda Beach, I found hundreds of Fiddler Crabs at Eddy Creek on Merritt Island.
The spot was Mead Garden in Winter Park, a wonderful oasis in our urban area and a magnet for a surprising number of birds.
