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.
I came across more of these colorful little woodpeckers than ever before, spotting them along the Black Point Wildlife Drive and the Scrub Ridge Trail at MINWR.
This is the time of year that huge flocks of American Robins can be spotted flying around Central Florida as they settle in for the winter.
There’s a pair of Snail Kites that hang around the boat ramp at the Emeralda Marsh Conservation Area along Lake Griffin in Lake County.
