Birds, Words, Pics + TV
I try to post my birding photos chronologically from my birding trips. But, well, things happen.
Like doing a special Swallow-tailed Kite trip that got priority postings, or going on a weeklong vacation and not posting anything. It’s stuff like that which throws off a schedule.
So, here’s a hodgepodge of photos from August trips to the UCF Arboretum, as well as Joe Overstreet Road and Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area in Osceola County.
Named after A. B. Newton, Winter Garden’s first mayor, the park sits on the north shore of Lake Apopka.
There were more than 100 Swallow-tailed Kites roosting about. But after a rough night, skimming across the water wasn’t part of their plans.
When I see a male Red-winged Blackbird, with his colorful red, yellow and black wings, it’s hard not to stop and take a few pictures. The females are equally intriguing.
