Birds, Words, Pics + TV
One of the things I love about birding is the cycle that birds follow.
Last April I photographed a male Indigo Bunting and a female Painted Bunting at Orlando Wetlands. It’s April again, and guess who’s back at the wetlands?
During a pair of sunset visits, I saw a male Indigo Bunting and a female Painted Bunting in the same location where I photographed them last year. Pretty amazing.
There was a bit of a difference. Last year I photographed them in the morning, and this year it was at sunset.
Several weeks before I saw a group of about 20 Sandhill Cranes there. This time there were 10 times that number. Yes, around 200 cranes.
This little lost bird has become quite the attraction – no doubt due to his fearlessness and his location.
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.
