Birds, Words, Pics + TV
When hundreds of different types of birds suddenly take off, there’s usually a good reason.
When it happened on Saturday morning at the Orlando Wetlands Park, the reason was easy to understand – namely two Bald Eagles circling around.
After flying around for a bit, the two eagles landed in a tree – almost seemingly to enjoy the chaos they created. One finally took off, but the other stayed to savor the mayhem.
The Wood Ducks included the very beautiful male drakes as well as interesting looking female hens – who I photographed for the first time.
On a recent Sunday morning outing to see and photograph the pretty-in-pink birds, I counted 32 flamingos present.
Young sandhill Crane colts have quite the growth spurt, growing an inch a day between 10 and 30 days of age.
