Such a beautiful place...great close ups of birdies...We had 41 birdies on the walk.

Great photos Dawn. I especially like the blue winged teal in the duck weed or algae. The cloud reflections are magnificent.
ReplyDeleteI love the cloud reflections in the water
ReplyDeletewonderful post. I LOVE the birder shadows. I love shadows.
ReplyDeleteI stopped in awe while viewing the first photo ... its beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the 1st photo. The wing looks like it is almost transparent.

That blue winged teal looked so beautiful contrasted against the green in the water! I love these walks w/ you - just beautiful scenery! Plus it's warm outside! lol~!
ReplyDeleteThat first bird is amazingly brillant.
ReplyDeleteYour reflections and shadows are full of fun and beauty. How cool to get a lifer.
Nice tour, I feel like I was there.
That made me laugh when you pointed with your finger.
ReplyDeleteGreat views! I would like to be there!
I love all the cloud shadows in the water and all the other shadows in your pictures. Lovely birds too. I didn't watch the video yet..
ReplyDeleteA nice set of pictures/video. I am envious of the birds and people wintering in the warmth of Florida.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place! All those birds to photograph! Fantastic! I like the shadows and the clouds, too.
ReplyDeleteHowdee Dawn!

Dear Dawn,
ReplyDeleteNice video...and photographs. I enjoyed seeing the wood stork. Very cool bird.
Thanks,

Dawn, I loved the video and the write up about our walk. Thanks for all the shout outs my way. You guys are too good.
ReplyDeleteI was going to mention to you that today I found a Magnolia Warbler in that first Cypress Hammock that we went into (the one with the Blue-headed Vireo). This could be that other warbler that you saw (and I never got a look at) the morning of our walk. The feeding flock seemed to be housing the same birds as the ones we had the other day. I hope this solves the mystery bird.
