White pelicans who should have been north by now. They were still hanging around central Florida in May.
Ibis flyby.
The beautiful black neck swans were nesting. I don’t know if the babies hatched.
Nosy goose.
Grackle with a snackle.
A laughing gull couple far away from the beach.
An injured ibis. He was still able to fly away.
A turtle in the lake.
I took a quick walk around Lake Morton in Lakeland after my long walk at Circle B Bar Reserve before heading home.
I think all over the season are not performing the sMe as last year. Everything is slightly later. Good to see all the birds and turtle you came across on your walk. Hav a lovely weekend.
Wonderful collection of birds and images. The Black necked Swan is a new bird for me, is it a native or escapee? Love the White Pelicans. Thank you so much for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
Beautiful photos! Love that black-necked swan!!!!
I guess we take ‘usual’ visitors for granted wherever we are and don’t realize how awesome other people think they are. These are some really gorgeous creatures. You have captured them beautifully.
