Tiny butterflies and a big one at Crescent Lake Park in late March.
A pied grebe in the middle of the lake. This one had his breeding stripe on his beak already but I didn’t think they nested here.
Green herons were everywhere.
Just a few of the many turtles around the lake.
Mama muscovy with a baby. I’m sure she started with many more than the one.
A pretty mallard sits in the vegetation.
European starlings don’t get any respect around here but they are pretty when the sun hits them just right.
The old banyan trees are looking a little rough The one on the left is turning brown. It might be from the lack of rain. Hopefully it will come back when the summer rains hit.
A wonderful walk in the park, lots of great birds!
My favorites are the butterflies and turtles, the Green Heron and the Grebe.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your critter post. Take care, have a great day and happy weekend.
We’ve seen more Green herons here lately too. I love seeing what YOU see!
That is a lovely park but it’s been ages since I visited. Thank you for sharing your wonderful images.
The Pied-billed Grebe breeds in FL from May-August, but in limited numbers.
Nice shooting!
Worth a Thousand Words
I’d love to have that Lake close enough to do a quick walkaround — maybe every day! It’s beautiful.
