Birds, Words, Pics + TV
I had to go to Osceola County on Wednesday evening for a work assignment. While driving around I came across the home of a Bald Eagle family – and lucky for me, the whole family was home.
The parents took turns staying by the nest or flying down to get some food for the youngster. The eaglet didn’t seem too happy when the parents would fly back.
I wasn’t expecting to see or photograph any Bald Eagles on this trip, but with birding you have to expect the unexpected.
There are several different types of herons, but a couple are harder to find than others.
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.
Peafowl is the name for birds that I grew up calling peacocks – but only the male peafowl are called that. The females are called peahens, and their babies are called peachicks.
