Birds, Words, Pics + TV
I’m very fortunate that I have a backyard that lots of birds love to visit because I love having them around.
One of my favorites came back last week: a Black-and-white Warbler. A lot of birds show off with beautiful colors, but this little one shows that black and white can be brilliant colors on their own.
The Black-and-white Warbler arrived with other warblers who have been visiting, including Yellow-throated Warblers, Yellow-rumped Warblers and Pine Warblers.
While they are year-round residents in Florida, I usually only see Green Herons in summer and fall during my birding trips.
On every trip out to photograph birds, I hope for at least one special moment. On a recent trip, I had not one, but two special moments — and they both involved the same bird.
For 140 years after John Audubon first cataloged this bird, the Great White Heron was considered a species separate from the Great Blue Heron.
