More magic at Orlando Wetlands

Roger Simmons,

I’ve said it before and I will say it again: The Orlando Wetlands is a magical place.

As the photos below from a couple of trips in February illustrate, the number and diversity of birds at the facility is impressive.

The Roseate Spoonbills grab the attention of most visitors, and that’s only been increasing now that little “teaspoons” are hatching. But there are so many other birds around worth photographing.
