Are Belted Kingfishers stalking me? I’m OK with that
I have been seeing Belted Kingfishers a lot recently at the Orlando Wetlands, Merritt Island and Lake Apopka. It’s almost like they stalking me.
Before I forget: Photos from weekend birding trips
Over the course of the past three days, I visited three of my favorite birding spots: Orlando Wetlands (twice), Black Point Wildlife Drive on Merritt Island and Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive. The Belted Kingfishers I photographed on Friday sort of stole all my attention, but I did get to take some pictures that I liked…

It took an emergency plane landing (really!), but I got another chance to photograph a Northern Parula — the nemesis bird I posted about recently.
Second chance: Shots that didn’t make it before
Fortunately for my Facebook friends, I usually only post a few photos there or here. But there are a lot of photos I still liked that just didn’t make the initial cut for one reason or another.
