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.
With the temperature in the 70s, I was able to hike five miles across the Wetlands and photograph lots and lots of birds, including familiar ones and some new faces too.
I really enjoy visiting the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge for birding, especially early in the morning.
Along Black Point Wildlife Drive I caught sight of a young Ring-billed Gull fishing in a little pond next to the road. This bird dreams big.
