November photos: Warblers, Ibises, ducks and a cool cat

Roger Simmons, December 18, 2025December 18, 2025

November was a busy month for photography for me, and I am still going through my pictures.

There were raptors and shorebirds, little birds and big birds, and one photo-friendly bobcat I came across during my travels.

But I feel I am getting behind in posting photos, so here’s a collection of bird (and feline) photos from different spots across Central Florida, including Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive and Orlando Greenwood Urban Wetlands
