Birds, Words, Pics + TV
People love autumn for the changing colors of the leaves. I love it because it signals more of the color pink — the return of Roseate Spoonbills.
Over at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge on a recent Sunday morning, I came across several Roseates. Three more flew overhead. I know this is just the start and more will be arriving soon.
I’m not sure what it is about these birds that is so captivating, but I love to watch and photograph them.
So happy fall — it’s time to think pink.
I’d met their parents before, but I finally got to see the two Barred Owl owlets at the Orlando Wetlands
I’ve seen plenty of adult ones before, but it wasn’t until August along Black Point Wildlife Drive in Merritt Island that I came across a juvenile Reddish Egret. And I got to see both generations together.
On a recent visit to UCF’s Arboretum just before sunset. I was rewarded with sightings of daddy and baby Eastern Bluebirds, and red-headed male and female Pileated Woodpeckers.
