Playing catch-up: Photos from recent birding trips
Roger Simmons,
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.
Included in this group are Roseate Spoonbills, Wood Storks, Common Yellowthroats, House Wrens and Swamp Sparrows. Also, I came across another new-to-me bird, a Swamp Wren.
One of the cool benefits of visiting the Orlando Wetlands regularly is witnessing how the little baby birds grow into big birds. Here are two examples.
There have been flamingos in the Indian River before, but it is pretty rare. I got up very early on a Saturday morning to try to get some pictures of them.
