A green heron was all alone with his reflection.
Some of the wintering ducks at the wildlife drive include a blue winged teal couple, a female northern shoveler and a grebe.
The coots seemed to be in couples all over the drive.
A glossy ibis in the bur marigolds.
Some of the smaller birds include a flicker and many blue gray gnatcatchers.
I got out of the car and was walking around watching the ducks when this kingfisher flew right by.
Shooting right into the sun, the marsh looked like it had a layer of gold on top. Those tiny black dots were coots which were all over the place. It really looked like winter on my drive in late December with all of the leaves off the trees and bushes here. The wildlife drive is just north of Orlando and is a little hike from my house so I don’t get here often. It’s been worth the drive recently since I was trying to stay off my hip due to hip bursitis at the end of last year.
Great bird photos! I’m beginning to understand how difficult bird photos can be, especially flying birds and in focus! Beautiful!
Oh my, what beautiful and amazing photos. I especially loved the ones where there was reflection in the water! Just gorgeous! Thank you!
wonderful selection, absolute favourite is the first one – love its colours and the posture and expression of the funny guy.
Wow ! Adorable birds especially the parrot frolicking around in the images, It would be my pleasure if you join my link up party related to Gardening, Nature and birds here at http://jaipurgardening.blogspot.com/2021/03/garden-affair-spring-flower-bellis.html
