(Click on photos to enlarge.)
Purple Gallinule
Red-Shouldered Hawk
Turtles thermal regulating
LOTS of Snowy Egrets
Wood Stork
Blue Herons
Vulture
Anhinga
I think this is some kind of crowned or night heron,
but the color is wrong. So I really don't know what it is.
An Anhinga Nest
Anhinga babies
Mockingbird (common, yes, but it is the State Bird)
An Ibis
A Great Blue Heron Fishing
He dove in after his fish
Grabbed a BIG fish
Dropped it and dove in again for it Finally, he flew out of the water with his fish
He took it ashore and enjoyed his lunch by himself
After that fish, he went back in for another one!
LOTS of Little Green Herons
And, of course, LOTS of gators in all sizes!
This gator has a bunch of little turtle buddies!
