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.
The Lake Eola swans have been iconic symbols of downtown Orlando’s central park for more than 100 years. Last weekend I went to the park to photograph the swans, which prompted me to learn more about them.
On several birding Facebook groups I’ve been seeing photos of a cute little bird called a Black-and-White Warbler. Then, Tuesday morning, I looked out in my backyard and saw one hopping around on the truck of our Sweet Gum Tree.
A quick Sunday morning trip to Black Point Wildlife Drive on Merritt Island was worth it with a Reddish Egret, Little Blue Heron and one very wet Osprey.
