Birds, Words, Pics + TV
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.
Yards in front of my car, a Peregrine Falcon swooped down and grabbed a Common Gallinule, taking the bird to the top of a power pole for breakfast.
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.
They’re really shy birds – not sure if it’s because they have a really interesting call. To me it sounds like an amplified version of water dripping.
