Birds, Words, Pics + TV
I enjoyed my January visit with the Whooping Crane in Osceola County so much, I went back through my photos to see if there were others I wanted to share. And of course there were some.
This has to be the rarest bird I have ever photographed, so why not see some more pictures of this endangered species?
If you want to learn more about Whooping Cranes and the efforts to save the species, you can visit the International Crane Foundation here.
I decided to make the most of what has been rare January sunshine and hit up both Orlando Wetlands and the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. Sort of a birding doubleheader. But I hit the Daily Double for these trips.
Whenever I hear “Prairie Warbler,” I think of Little House on the Prairie and the Midwest. But this little yellow and black bird is a year-round Florida resident.
In 2025, Florida experienced an abnormally dry spring and only 30 successful Snail Kite nests were reported in the state, Audubon said.
