Mom went out with my for my weekend photo shoot this morning to the Circle B. Driving into the park we saw one of the juvenile Barred Owls along the road. As we were walking along the lake shortly after sunrise, I heard a juvenile Barred Owl calling. We stopped […]

Memorial Day Outing
Hit two different parks this morning. Highlights included 2 more Praying Mantises, a Little Blue Heron mid color change, and best of all a Limpkin family where 2 parents were feeding 2 little babies right next to the trail. Not much exciting at the second spot but caught a few […]
Old Reliable
Since I don’t have any nests to chase I figured the safest bet was just to head back to the Circle B. It is relatively close and almost always something worth seeing. It started off slow but ended up being one of my better days. When I am not finding […]
Fort Desoto
I decided to go back to Fort Desoto this morning primarily to find the White Morph of the Reddish Egret. White morph Reddish Egrets are incredibly rare, along the Gulf Coast and in Florida—the white morph generally accounts for about 2% to 7% of the regional population. While the Reddish […]
Screech Owl, Sandhill Cranes and Osprey
I returned to the Screech Owl nest I photographed last weekend. One baby left the nest last night (although he was nowhere to be seen). There were still 2 in the nest although at least 1 more will almost definitely leave tonight. I got views of them each peeking individually […]
New Screech Owl
Drove to visit a new Screech Owl today as the nest was so cool looking and I knew it had babies. It worked out pretty well. Stopped by one of my other favorite areas on the way back and got some bonus pics of a Burrowing Owl and Eastern Meadowlarks […]
Neighborhood and Backyard
My Pileated Woodpeckers have fledged but I still managed to gather a few worthwhile photos around the neighborhood and my own backyard. This Blue Jay grabbed the Brown Anole off the fence and took him down to the ground. The Brown Anole did his best to fight back but was […]
Owls and an old spot
Started out this morning at a local park to photograph a young Great Horned Owl and its parents. They have had horrible luck at this site over the past years due to a variety of reasons so I haven’t photographed it in awhile. This chick is about 1 month old […]
Neighborhood rounds
The Killdeer are gone, but my woodpecker babies are still around for a little longer. I went back to visit them again and got some good shots. I also got a bonus, a pair of Red-tailed Hawks which is the first time I have seen them in the neighborhood. I […]
Killdeer Babies
Remember the Killdeer nest I spotted about 3 1/2 weeks ago. They hatched! My first time seeing baby Killdeer. I have been checking daily recently because I knew it was about time and so glad I did. I got to watch the family with 4 babies for about 45 minutes […]
