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.
With some much geographic diversity, no wonder there’s so much birding diversity in our region.
They’re really shy birds – not sure if it’s because they have a really interesting call. To me it sounds like an amplified version of water dripping.
A lot of folks are tickled pink over the arrival some “teaspoons” – an affection nickname for baby Roseate Spoonbills
