What a fantastic place this was! If you want to see Florida birds in their breeding plumage as well as their chicks - then, this is definitely the place to go......take a look
 |
| of course, the beautiful weather is always a nice bonus |
 |
| Everywhere I looked - there were multiple species within the trees and I kept thinking: "Now, this is what a 'tree of life' looks like." |
 |
| How many birds do you see in this clump? |
 |
| The Anhinga chick wants to know when dinner will be served. |
 |
| Great Blue Heron sitting on its nest. |
 |
| "Look Ma! Look what I can do!" |
 |
| Smile |
 |
| "Are you sure you're my Daddy?" |
 |
| There was an incredible amount of courtship going on - I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of Great Egret chicks by next month. |
 |
| Wakodahatchee should be called "Love Island". |
 |
| I bet he'll try his new wings real soon. |
 |
| Aren't they precious? |
 |
| These ducks - I've been told - they whistle....one of these days I might even hear it. |
 |
| The 3 Stooges or perhaps - Eenie, Mynie, Mo. |
 |
| The elusive American Bitter was right out in the open. |
 |
| Now you see me.... |
 |
| Now you don't. |
 |
| An exotic - Egyptian Goose - there were 3 of them. |
 |
| This little island was filled with Wood Storks - next month there should be lots of chicky storks. |
 |
| Check that breeding plumage |
 |
| Where did the head go? |
 |
| The Great Egret inspecting her blue eggs |
 |
| This looks like a wedding dress fashion show. |
 |
| Spaces within the branches and trees are at a premium and multiple levels are being used, these are Cattle Egrets nesting below the Great Blue heron. |
 |
 |
| Side by side, raising their own families. |
 |
| Chick wanting more food. |
 |
| When you got an itch you gotta itch it.....say that 3 times fast LOL....just kidding. |
 |
| Thank you for visiting - come back soon. |
