Orlando Wetlands sunset visits are rewarding

I made several sunset visits to the Orlando Wetlands in April with specific birds in mind to photograph, like the Indigo Bunting and Painted Bunting. But, of course, I also took pictures of many other birds, too.

That included some that I often overlook.

Like the Limpkin, the tropical wetlands bird that has a range from South America to the Caribbean, but is only found in Florida in the USA.

Or the Great Blue Heron, a modern-day carnivorous dinosaur that will catch and eat just about anything.

And the Anhinga, the “snakebird” that swims underwater to grab fish and then dries out on land with wings extended.

Here are some photos of those and other birds from my sunset visits last month.
