I can always find green herons at this lake.
This looks like a young mallard that’s molting and getting his male feathers in.
Lots of young blue jays.
A grackle with a yummy snack.
A leucistic Eurasian collared-dove. It’s rare to see an all white Eurasian dove.
You can always hear the loud screaming of monk parakeets at this park. They nest in the water tower near the park and spend a lot of time on the grass eating. They blend in really well and unless you hear them screaming, you would never know they were in the trees in front of you.
Crescent Lake Park is a small park near downtown St. Petersburg. There’s a small lake with a sidewalk all around. There’s a ball field next door as well as a dog park and houses across the street on 2 sides of the park. On a Saturday morning, the park is full of joggers, walkers, kids playing and me, the crazy lady with the camera.
Lovely photographs. The one with the grackle is special – great focus and a super “catch” – on your part and on yours!

I am enjoying your bird photography. I like most parrots because of their vibrant colors. I particularly like the photo of the monk parrot with one of its legs in the air. They do blend well into the grass.
Great photos!
Have a wonderful day!
