Birds, Words, Pics + TV
Despite the gloomy weather for the long three-day weekend, I went out to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge on the morning of July 4 to celebrate our independence … with birds, of course.
The birds didn’t seem to care about the holiday, and the humans seemed to be sleeping in for it – so it was great to get some quiet time out in the refuge.
Here are some of the birds — and one non-bird creature — I came across.
I had such fun photographing a Ruby-throated Hummingbird at Orlando Wetlands last weekend, that I wanted to do it again.
This subspecies of the White-Tail deer has been living in the Keys for hundreds of years, with the first known documentation coming from Spanish explorers in the 1550s.
As the temperatures start soaring, the number of migrating birds in our area starts dropping.
