Birds, Words, Pics + TV
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.
These striking black-and-white raptors fly to Florida in the summer from South America. To paraphrase an old Delta Airlines commercial, these birds love to fly and it shows.
Over the past several weeks I have come across a lot of Hooded Mergansers in different locations – some totally unexpected.
The small part that I did see was impressive – a great pond with lots of wading birds and a rookery for egrets and other birds. An adult and juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron flew overhead, and a pair of Roseate Spoonbills were hanging around.
