Birds, Words, Pics + TV
November was a busy month for photography for me, and I am still going through my pictures.
There were raptors and shorebirds, little birds and big birds, and one photo-friendly bobcat I came across during my travels.
But I feel I am getting behind in posting photos, so here’s a collection of bird (and feline) photos from different spots across Central Florida, including Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive and Orlando Greenwood Urban Wetlands
On a sunset outing to Orlando Wetlands, I saw a Swallow-tailed Kite next to me at tree level, allowing me to get some great photos.
On several birding Facebook groups I’ve been seeing photos of a cute little bird called a Black-and-White Warbler. Then, Tuesday morning, I looked out in my backyard and saw one hopping around on the truck of our Sweet Gum Tree.
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.
