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.
I’ve been birding since January, and just when I feel like I am getting the hang of identifying birds in the wild, one will throw me a curveball. Meet the latest to do that.
I photographed a family of American Oystercatchers at Fort DeSoto Park, and I ended up learning a lot about these colorful birds and their interesting backstory.
When I visited them in early July, there were still 14 at Bird Island. Recent posts say their numbers dropped to seven as August began.
