Birds, Words, Pics + TV
I got a couple of early presents on Christmas Eve when I visited Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive.
I came across two new-to-me birds: A Grey-headed Swamphen and some Ring-necked Ducks. Plus, I got to photograph some others I have photographed before, including a very pretty House Wren and a timid American Kestrel.
The main thing was that I had photographs. I forgot to charge my camera battery, so I had to ration out what little power there when taking photos.
It wasn’t until fairly recently that Black Point Wildlife Drive and Bio Lab Road re-opened. Some other areas still remain closed because of high water or flooding damage.
Brown Pelicans are here all the time, so I rarely bother to photograph them unless I see something special.
I visited Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive this past Sunday knowing I would see a lot of different birds there but hoping to see one kind in particular: Barn Swallows.
