Birds, Words, Pics + TV
I call them “the regulars.” For these birds, the Orlando Wetlands is like the bar on the old TV show “Cheers,” because everybody knows their names.
They are the hawks, herons, cranes and other types of birds who hang out at the wetlands year-round. They’re so common that sometimes it’s easy to take for granted their residency at the park.
So, here’s to these birds that we see a lot – but who are always fun to photograph.
I hadn’t been to the UCF Arboretum in six months, and with the birds I saw this time, it won’t be that long between visits again.
Whenever I hear “Prairie Warbler,” I think of Little House on the Prairie and the Midwest. But this little yellow and black bird is a year-round Florida resident.
I came across two sets of Great Horned Owl owlets about 100 miles apart, in Pinellas and Osceola counties.
