I had to go to Osceola County on Wednesday evening for a work assignment. While driving around I came across the home of a Bald Eagle family – and lucky for me, the whole family was home.
The parents took turns staying by the nest or flying down to get some food for the youngster. The eaglet didn’t seem too happy when the parents would fly back.
I wasn’t expecting to see or photograph any Bald Eagles on this trip, but with birding you have to expect the unexpected.

I went to Orlando Wetlands hoping to get a chance to photograph some baby Barred Owls. I ended up with photos of a colorful new-to-me bird: Indigo Buntings.
This subspecies of the White-Tail deer has been living in the Keys for hundreds of years, with the first known documentation coming from Spanish explorers in the 1550s.
