The time is coming for the “big birds” to arrive at Orlando Wetlands and start grabbing all the attention from bird photographers. Roseate Spoonbills, Wood Storks, Northern Harriers, American Kestrels and Peregrine Falcons will be filling in Facebook posts before long.
But for now, I have no problem focusing on the “little birds.”
Among these are the wrens and sparrows that return to the wetlands in the fall to spend the winter. Included are House, Marsh and Sedge wrens as well as Savannah and Swamp sparrows.
Throw in some other smaller birds, and you have a large selection to choose from when visiting the wetlands.
Here are some of the “little birds” who grabbed my attention during recent birding trips.
