| 2/17-25/2016 A wonderful camping trip took us south to the Everglades National Park, FL. From there, we wandered north via various parks. We caught a Buff-bellied Hummingbird near Homestead, nesting Osprey and a Great White Heron in the Everglades, American Bittern at Green Cay, and hunting Snail Kites at Indian River Wetlands among many other birds. (Click NEXT PAGE below for more...) |
| 2/17-25/2016 Indian River Wetlands, FL: Snail Kites were a feast for the eyes (and lens) as they soared, hovered, then dove with great intent to snatch those zippy snails from the water before they got away. First, a lovely Sandhill Crane nest on the still water of the marsh. |
| 2/17-25/2016 Indian River Wetlands and Ft. Pierce Area, FL: A Black-crowned Night-Heron had caught a huge salamander(?) and Blue-winged Teal pairs were flying about. We initially called this a Common Grackle as the tail was so short but believe it is the Florida Boat-tailed Grackle with the dark eye. Also, Mottled Duck, Eastern Phoebe, and a gorgeous setting for butterfly and flower duet. |
| 2/17-25/2016 Indian River Wetlands and Ft. Pierce Area, FL: Florida Scrub Jay study. Also, Glossy Ibis , Tricolored Heron with Little Blue Heron and Snowy Egret , Little Blue Heron hunting , Green Heron with reflection, Ring-necked Duck , Tricolored Heron , and Great Blue Heron in flight. |
