Enjoy a respite from the sad goings on of the day.

Please post and share your pics of birds, nature, anything the Good Lord has created.

Remembering Swampsniper....may you rest easy, good man.

Mr Limpkin shared a sun rise with me.

There's got to a snail here somewhere!

Who are all these strangers invading my territory?

Oh deer!

We had 2 Pileated Woodpeckers on one of our trees today, at the same time. If I had a decent camera I might have gotten a picture.

I recently visited family who have a whole lot more wildlife in their yard then where I live, One morning I was outside and saw a huge bird with a huge wingspan near apple trees, some stacked wood piles and forest line. I went and got my phone camera and took pictures from a distance. Later told my Dad we had an eagle on the property. He said it’s a hawk, it’s been hanging around the yard for a week or so. LOL

Thanks for sharing the pictures, Makes me think of home.

Excellent. Would really like to see some Limpkins again, and actually be able to watch them feed for a bit.

Here are some of my latest ones.

Yellow-billed Cuckoo

Hairy Woodpecker (he was guarding his nest)

Belted Kingfisher (Yelling at fish to jump in his mouth I guess)

Belted Kingfisher-10.jpg

Eastern Meadowlark

Finally some decent shots of American Coots

I have dipped on Yellow-breasted Chat, Worm-eating Warbler (a county first), several Orchard Orioles, and was with 2 people as they saw a Hooded Warbler. I was unable to get a good enough look at it to ID it for myself, so no joy on that. All of those would have been lifers for me too.

Nice shots!

I watched this guy work on an apple snail for several minutes before he received his reward. They earn their meals.

Ospreys are cool birds. There are literally hundreds in my little slice of Florida. Nice shot.

He certainly loved sharing his birds with us. Wish I could have met in person.
