This lighting worked especially well with the pink Roseate Spoonbills, who were settling in for the night in trees around the Cypress Boardwalk.
Throw in some little birds and some bigger ones, and overall it was a great evening.

I saw my first Eastern Towhee at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge back in March, but I’ve seen many more send then at the UCF Arboretum. The scrub bush landscape there is perfect for these colorful orange and black birds.
