Yep, I was back at it again. I made it back to Viera Wetlands for sunrise which turned out to have some beautiful clouds today. Of course the first thing I did was to head to the area where the Great Blue Herons are nest building so that I could […]

Florida Bird Photos
Green Cay Wetlands
Green Cay Nature Center is located in Boynton Beach, Florida. It is one of the nicer boardwalks that I have been to in Florida. The wetlands is a water treatment area and it draws a lot of wildlife. It is one of the better birding areas in South Florida, especially […]
Baby Black Skimmers
Sticking with the baby theme, but tonight back to the archive for a couple baby Black Skimmer photos. I missed going to see them this year, but I always enjoy watching them. They are one of my favorite shorebirds. It is especially cool to watch their unique feeding style, skimming […]
Birding in Dry Tortugas National Park
Dry Tortugas National Park is one of the best birding sites in Florida which is saying quite a lot. It is especially interesting to visit during the spring migration around March/April. This is because it is the only place for birds to stop to rest and get fresh water in […]
Sunrise Silhouettes
One of my favorite type of images, silhouettes. The Brown Pelican photo is one that I have really been looking for as it is so representative of Florida. The Great Blue Heron photo is one that I have captured at Viera Wetlands a few times. [facebook]
Bird Portraits
Fort Desoto, especially at the fishing pier is a great place to get really close to the birds and capture a much more close up view than normal. This Great Egret and Great Blue Heron were both captured at the pier although on different days. [facebook]

Black Skimmers
I have recently seen some photos of the Black Skimmers so decided to post a few of my old ones. I have not been to see them this year yet. They are fun to watch, especially the interaction between the chicks and between the chicks and the parents. [facebook]
Fort Desoto Birding
Fort Desoto is one of the premier birding sites in Florida if not the United States. There are a wide variety of shorebirds throughout the years including some less common ones such as the white morph of the Reddish Egret. Fort Desoto is also a major stopping point for migrant […]
Birds of Viera
A few more of my favorite from Viera Wetlands. TOnight I have a shot of a Sandhill Crane that was in the middle of what I can only assume must have been some kind of courtship dance. There was a lot of hopping around and different poses. The other shot […]
