Posted on October 2, 2014 1 Comment
I had a sweet Prairie Warbler in the yard yesterday who interacted with me quite playfully. He even hovered in front of me for a second, checking out my camera. He was too close for my long lens at that moment, but I still appreciated the gesture. 😉 You can click on the images to […]
Backyard Birding: September

This past weekend I headed out to Tall Cypress to see what fall migrants I could find. Saw a couple of Baltimore Orioles and a Worm-eating Warbler, but that was about it. My own backyard was buzzing when I got home though. I had a Cliff Swallow in a flock of Barn Swallows that flew […]

Three tiny newborn red-winged blackbirds. Total cuteness! These little sweethearts where in a nest near the boardwalk at Wakodahatchee. I just love Springtime!

Are you all participating in the Great Backyard Bird Count this weekend? I did my count today, bird watching from my patio, under a blanket because it was cold down here in South Florida! I watched for 70 minutes and saw 20 species for a total of 64 individual birds. I counted 10 muscovy ducklings […]
Everglades Birding Festival

A couple of weeks ago I attended the Everglades Birding Festival. I ended up going on the South Dade Exotics and the Upper Keys Natural Adventure field trips. In those two days I saw 46 species and ticked off 9 new lifers! Although I don’t have pictures of everything I saw, here are my favorites: […]

This past weekend Lita and I went birding on Merritt Island. It was really windy and quite chilly. That made for a great opportunity to snap some Savannah Sparrows that were warming up in the parking area of Black Point. They let us get within a couple of feet so we got down on our […]
