Traveling in the South – birds in flight and more

We spent another great day looking at nature, this time with our longtime friends Roger and Dawn. WE were at Orlando Wetlands. This is an Anhinga heading to a nest.

Here’s a Northern Harrier looking for food.

A Tricolored Heron heading to it’s nest. I learned this bird as a Louisiana Heron many years ago.

A Snowy Egret leaving it’s nest.

A Roseatte Spoonbill leading it’s nest. The spoonbill nests had really large young.

A Wood Stork on the way to a nest with large young.

Glossy Ibis in flight.

Dinner was at The Chicken Shack which has wonderful southern friend chicken and lots of veggies to choose from. Uncle Chicken was owned by the same person and it was down the road, but only served take out.

Needless to say there was a lot of chicken decor in the restaurant.

The day ended with an early evening walk on the beach watching the full Moon rise over the ocean.

More tomorrow…

  1. Loved the photos. Birds in flight are amazing!
    BUT… the possessive of “it” is “its”, not “it’s”. No apostrophe. That would be the shortening of “it is”. And it’s not a typo because it came up time after time.
    Now that I’ve picked my nit, I’ll go make myself a cup of tea. Offer of one for the two of you when you get back to Ann Arbor, so we can meet. Contact me at schopbach@gmail.com

  2. Oops, sorry about the typo – I do indeed know the difference. And yes it would be wonderful to share a cup a tea when we are bak in Ann Arbor.

    Best,
