Nice Sapsucker! I have been doing more birding than actually taking pictures lately; however, I found myself in Florida a week ago with some free time and visited one of my favorite watering holes.

Awesome Tricolored Heron.....love those details in the plumage.

So Stuart I and went midday, the next day Stuart went in the early a.m. and clearly better ligtht, Kayaker(Brant) and went yesterday relatively early - which if you can get there early midweek I would it would be gang busters.

Here are just a couple of the easy ones. Still have several more but I thought these some of the better / more fun ones.

About a dozen frames pano.

So follow the link - I did -0- post processing on this so the highlights are hot, etc. My goal is to provide some insight into the fun birders can have at the Merritt Island Bird Refuge.

Hello! by Andrea Magnelli, su Flickr

[Joel Eade]

We've had a a very heavy snow (15-18") ... quite out of the ordinary for Kentucky but it is bringing the birds to the feeders in large numbers, even some that are infrequent visitors. I suspect their preferred food sources are buried right now.



Northern Flicker ... a rare visit to my feeder even though they are not rare around here
