Black bellied whistling ducks are a rare sight to see up close. Years ago they would hang out right on the trail and the trees right on the trail would be full of them. Now you can only hear them whistling off in the distance.
A great blue heron with a snack.
The marsh has been overrun with glossy ibis.
A few Wilson’s Snipes have been seen here. This one was on Alligator Alley Trail.
It’s always fun to see the little purple clowns (gallinules).
Green herons have taken over.
Come of the birds on my recent trip to Circle B Bar Reserve.
Wonderful photos of our feathered friends ~ love the beautiful colored bird, ‘little purple clown’ ~ thanks,
Wishing you a happy and peaceful week ~ ^_^
Your birds are beautiful!
Saw the “purple clowns” on Our World Tuesday and had to pop over to see if they were Takahe, a critically endangered New Zealand bird that looks quite similar. Wonder collection of birds. Your photos are really detailed.
You always take such stunning photos. The Purple Clowns are gorgeous.
Beautiful photos. Detail is amazing. I too love the ‘purple clowns’. What a shame the ducks are so hard to see. Maybe the other bird have frightened them off.
Wonderful — the green heron is one of my favorites, but so are they all.
You do have an amazing collection of shots here! So beautiful and it’s fun to see the variety too.
