I spent yesterday morning at the Alligator Farm Rookery. There aren't many chicks yet, several species haven't started nesting yet but the place is jumping. In about 3 weeks it will really be rocking, wall to wall birds!
The little mobility scooter I just bought is great for this, I can move around again!

Yeah, and they pick sticks to fit what they want to build, just anything won’t do. The nests are like beaver dams, they don’t look anywhere near as sturdy as they are.

I traded my three-wheeler away for a little tank I can do yard work from.

What is that?That was my first response too when I saw it in the field. I suspected an immature tricolor given the white stomach, but I had never seen one before. So, I looked for pictures on the web. The pictures I found showed the rust-colored bars/stripes on the wing confirming the identification.
My kind of bird, I guess.
