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.
I wasn’t expecting to see or photograph any Bald Eagles on this trip, but with birding you have to expect the unexpected.
As the temperatures start soaring, the number of migrating birds in our area starts dropping.
My most recent trip to the Orlando Wetlands on Sunday, August 6, started by spotting a group of 16 (!) baby Black-bellied Whistling Ducks and ended with photographs of an elusive Belted Kingfisher.
