Playing catch-up: Photos from recent birding trips

Roger Simmons, August 19, 2024August 19, 2024

I try to post my birding photos chronologically from my birding trips. But, well, things happen.

Like doing a special Swallow-tailed Kite trip that got priority postings, or going on a weeklong vacation and not posting anything. It’s stuff like that which throws off a schedule.

So, here’s a hodgepodge of photos from August trips to the UCF Arboretum, as well as Joe Overstreet Road and Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area in Osceola County.

This is a Wilson’s Warbler, a colorful little bird that isn’t supposed to be in Florida. In fact, it regularly visits just about everywhere in the U.S., Canada and Central America but not Florida.
