Birds, Words, Pics + TV
St. Augustine Beach and adjacent Anastasia State Park are great places to see shore birds.
On a recent sunrise visit, I came across a large group of terns, Royal and Forester’s, mixing in with a group of adult and juvenile Ring-billed Gulls. And Black Skimmers, of course.
The terns, and others in their family, nest regularly along the beach in St. Augustine. I’m looking forward to go back and hopefully seeing some of the new generation of these birds later in the year.
During my evening trip, I was able to photograph a number of birds that had golden hues, thanks to the setting sun.
I went to Orlando Wetlands hoping to get a chance to photograph some baby Barred Owls. I ended up with photos of a colorful new-to-me bird: Indigo Buntings.
Orlando Wetlands has been full of Roseate Spoonbills this spring, but time is running out on how much longer the pink birds will be around.
