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.
I have been seeing Belted Kingfishers a lot recently at the Orlando Wetlands, Merritt Island and Lake Apopka. It’s almost like they stalking me.
While driving down Joe Overstreet Road or exploring the Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area, I can’t remember a time I didn’t see a least one Eastern Meadowlark.
The variety of birds and other wildlife that you can see at Lake Apopka is pretty amazing, especially considering its sorry state just a few years ago.
