Howdee all,
If we have to be stuck somewhere while having our Homey repaired.
This is one great place to be..
This particular day we took Gator road to Peacock road
This was the day of pink and white birds
What have we here?
A Roseate spoonbills remains..feathers and a few bones..
We drive on and see yet another grouping of birds..
Spoonbills, Snowys, Ibis Roseate spoons with Ibis
We drive on and see more white and pink in the distance.
A Roseate Spoonbill flies over
And my baby camera takes a few shots..
Roseate with Cape Canaveral in the distance.
We pass yet another grouping of pink and white birds..
Oh..a few black ones too.
Great Egret, Snowy Egret, white Ibis, Roseate Spoonbill
We drive on and see another pink and white grouping of birds
I didn’t see any pink or white feathers in its toothy mouth..
Wood Stork..
And a White Ibis hanging out in the top of a tree
A Great Day of pink and whites!
Jeff and I are leaving today to head back to the west coast of Florida. We will stay in Ruskin at a county park, unless we find something closer to St. Pete and Tampa area.
Beautiful pictures ~ Hillsborough State Park is pretty nice... I don't think there is an opening in our park, Rainbow Village in Largo, but you could give a call... Also Fort Desoto County Park may have something... That is really a beautiful park just make sure the site will fit you.

Marvelous shots. I love how you've incorporated the landscape with the birds, without losing their clear identities too.
ReplyDeleteDid you all get hungry while waiting for the RV to get back on the road, and eat that one Ibis (just kidding)? As you said, it looks like a great place to take a break.
Wonderful photos in this post Lovely Dawn. Your BIF shots are really lovely! Makes me long to return to MINWR!
ReplyDeleteSuch bright, cherry shots! So nice to see. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteWow, that pink is Really Pink.
ReplyDeleteGlad your repairs are done.
Those are great photos--what a wonderful place to stop. Glad that alligator didn't get too close.
ReplyDeleteLoved the pick and white colors reflected in the water. I have never seen a Roseate Spoonbill before in the wild yet. Will keep looking!
ReplyDeleteWow, I would be beside myself with glee if I saw all those Roseate Spoonbills. Gorgeous photographs of beautiful birds, Dawn! Love the White Pelicans. Enjoy your trip to the west coast of Florida!
