Orlando backyard birds: Colorful collection of visitors
Roger Simmons,
I go birding across Central Florida a lot, but sometimes the birds come to me. My Orlando backyard seems to be a popular spot for birds, especially this time of year.
I’ve been getting visits from different warblers, titmouses (or is it titmice?) as well our year-round residents, the Northern Cardinals. Overall, they create quite a colorful collection – including the Black-and-white Warbler.

Robins are not normally found in Central Florida except in the winter, when they arrive here from their northern homes. While visiting the UCF Arboretum at sunset, a flock of several dozen Robins arrived.
