I never been a big bird fan.
However, my bird pics from the Everglades were freakin’ unbelievable. I always visit Shark Valley when I’m in town.
Thanks for sharing.

Pelican shot is astonishing. Perfect centering, and you have him scoping right at ya.
Keep ‘em comin.

The breeding season is near, the birds are sprucing up their wardrobes.. Disappointing. I hoped you were a Brit and had some good pictures of some "birds". :-).

The Royal Palm/Anhinga Trail at the eastern entrance of the park is a great spot for photographing the birds and alligators right up close.

In the latter part of the 19th century and into the early twentieth, snowy egret plumes were very popular on hats. The result was that these birds were hunted until they were nearly extinct.

If I sat on a pole and pooped enough for it to run down the side, I would be jailed rather than protected.
