Baby muscovy ducks are everywhere throughout the summer.
Cattle egrets at the rookery. Some were just starting to flirt and mate and some were already sitting on eggs.
Baby anhingas that were not flying yet. Waiting for a parent to come in with food.
Dad (on the left) flies in and the 3 babies immediately go after him for food.
The bird rookery in north Tampa was very busy in late April. Lots of babies from weeks old to almost grown. Wood storks, great egrets, cattle egrets and anhingas were the most prevelant with a few tricolored herons just starting to nest.
Fabulous pictures. I’ve never heard of anhingas before, they’re very striking to look at. And the ducklings are very cute!
Really great shots! Love the inter-active shots of the birds.
Wow! This is definitely a rainbow of bird gems! Loved it!
I love the egret with the fluffy head! Good one.
wonderful set of images, but that snowy egret really made my day!
