Little Birds, Eagles and more from the Space Coast…

We visited John Chesnut Sr Park in Palm Harbor today. Great day with the little birds…

First time viewing the refuge from a boat…

More birds on Black Point Drive today than the past few times. Lets see what was there…

It was a Cara Cara sort of day at Joe Overstreet Road.

The 2nd trip to Fort Desoto was worth it. Flamingo!

The Eagles and Ducks are starting to return. Not a lot of birds, but it’s encouraging to see them this early.

We missed the Flamingos but saw some other cool birds at Fort Desoto

Summer is almost over and the migratory birds will be making their way back in another month or so. Today we made a quick run through Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive. Still mostly only the summer birds but fun none the less…

On one of the hottest days of the summer we went to Merritt Island NWR. We wanted to see if there were any new birds since the last time we were there. There weren’t, just the usual summer Green Herons and a few others…

Good day for little birds on a trail that I have no idea where I was…

What better way to spend a hot day birding than going to the beach.

They’re back! Ruby-throated Humming birds have returned to our backyard flower garden.

My wife and I spent the day at Merritt Island NWR with our friend Pam. The breeze was really nice, but once it stopped it got really hot…

This time of year is slow for birding. I did see some cool Red-shouldered Hawks and Cara Caras though…

It was going to be a very hot day so I set out early to Orlando Wetlands Park. After a 35 minute wait for my lens to defog, I started to walk around to see what was waiting for me…

Every time I go to Paynes Prairie I hope to see the wild horses and buffalo. No buffalo this time but I did see the herd of horses with their colts…

Swallow-tailed Kites gather together in July every year to get ready for their migration to South America. There were several hundred gathered here, often dipping down to the water for a drink!
