Birds, Words, Pics + TV
I’ve said it before and I will say it again: The Orlando Wetlands is a magical place.
As the photos below from a couple of trips in February illustrate, the number and diversity of birds at the facility is impressive.
The Roseate Spoonbills grab the attention of most visitors, and that’s only been increasing now that little “teaspoons” are hatching. But there are so many other birds around worth photographing.
Seen mostly in Mexico and the U.S. Southwest, it’s not unheard of to see Vermilion Flycatchers in Florida, but they’re definitely a rarity.
I made several sunset visits in April with specific birds in mind to photograph, but I also took pictures of many other birds, too.
I’ve been to Nassau many times on cruises, so on my stop there last week I decided to visit The Retreat Garden on Village Road.
