Birds that aren’t pink. Some other wetlands favorites

Roger Simmons, May 9, 2024May 9, 2024

Yes, I focus way too much on taking pictures of the colorful Roseate Spoonbills at Orlando Wetlands. They’re pretty hard to ignore.

But there are a lot of other birds that are photo-worthy at the wetlands. From owls, to wading birds to birds that are red and black in color, there are lot of subjects waiting to be photographed.

Here are some pictures of those birds I took at the end of April on a couple of different trips to the park.
