Birds, Words, Pics + TV
It’s been difficult finding days to go birding as the calendar has turned to 2024. The weather has not been cooperating with my schedule.
But between clouds and rain showers, I was able to visit my three go-to spots for birding – Orlando Wetlands, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive – in the first two weeks of January.
Here are some of my favorite shots from those trips.
They include photos of some of my favorite birds, including Reddish Egrets, Roseate Spoonbills and Killdeers.
I’ve been making some trips to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge looking for the little Eastern Screech Owls, and I’m not the only one.
This protected area of Florida scrub land is nestled between some subdivisions and a self-storage business, but it’s the perfect habitat for Florida Scrub-Jays.
