Every day is a new day that is filled with surprises - you just never know what awaits on the trail. It is Monday and the sun is about to rise - time to go birding.
With a sunrise like this - you can't go wrong. |
The wild flowers are just stunning in the morning light.
Osprey's way of saying: "Welcome". |
Along the trail at the Sanibel Garden Preserve, a fellow pointed out these two Black Racers intertwined on the Mangrove branches.... |
love is in the air for those two. |
Right around the corner I detect a lot of movements and flashes of white light.... |
and there they were....Snowy, Great Egrets, Little Blue and Tricolored all feeding together in a frenzy. |
Then I noticed some activities around the nesting box - a Great Crested Flycatcher with a juicy bug...he went inside to deliver the goods, in |
the meantime the partner arrived with a dragonfly.... |
I have a feeling there are a few mouths to feed... |
"I am so tired" .... the more I give, the more they want.... |
I know the feeling - I had a few of those days myself. |
Taking a break while taking in the view below.. |
the feeding frenzy continues. |
Enough down time - there are mouths to feed...chopchop. |
And this goes for the Red-bellied Woodpeckers too. My E-bird List for today.
Hi France,
ReplyDeleteIs the flycatcher and the woodpecker at nesting boxes at the Sanibel Preserve?
Thanks!
