Birds, Words, Pics + TV
Despite the gloomy weather for the long three-day weekend, I went out to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge on the morning of July 4 to celebrate our independence … with birds, of course.
The birds didn’t seem to care about the holiday, and the humans seemed to be sleeping in for it – so it was great to get some quiet time out in the refuge.
Here are some of the birds — and one non-bird creature — I came across.
Just when the mania over the Sandhill Colt cranes had subsided at the Orlando Wetlands, there are two new colts to capture some attention.
In the continental U.S.’ southern-most city, there many great places to go birding – including conventional and unconventional places.
With the temperatures in Central Florida starting to rise as the birding season cooling down, I decided to make a Saturday morning trek to the nearby UCF Arboretum to look for some little birds.
