Birds, Words, Pics + TV
Take a cloudy, rainy day and add in some black-and-dark-gray male Sail Kites, and your get an incredible landscape to photograph.
That’s the opportunity that presented itself when I visited Osceola County looking for endangered Snail Kites. I was going to call off the attempt because of the poor weather, but I am glad I didn’t.
Seeing these birds on an overcast, drizzly day added a moody feel to the photos. When the sun did pop out, I was also able to get some photos of the kites feeding.
The sheer amount and different species of birds that have returned to the area for migration is impressive.
I came across five different types of warblers during my visit to the Ferndale Preserve on the west side of Lake Apopka.
Like many folks who go on vacation, I take photos. It’s just my photos are usually of birds and fish. That was the case when my wife and I went on a cruise that stopped at Coco Cay in the Bahamas.
