Gator and Black point Road birding,Florida

Howdee all,

I found this forgotten post on this rainy, overcast North Carolina Day…I have a few Florida posts waiting to be finished..and I have been lazy about blogging…

I have been walking around Sickstas garden and getting my hands dirty. I have also been searching for the illusive Morel mushroom..hope I find some soon.

I set out my feeders and have a few new arrivals, American Goldfinch and Common Grackle..today a Ruby-throated Hummingbird :) The Bluebirds are checking out the nest box…and spring has sprung..Bird Migration is happening and we are ready and waiting.

Anyway..

I want to share some clouds and birds…

  6. A great selection of birds yet I like the images of the Great Egret best with the hypnotizing patter of the surrounding water. Enjoy the gardening.

  9. Dawn what beautiful skies, what beautiful birds! Excellent shots. I understand the need to take a break from blogging but we sure miss you when you are offline! You are the social network birding guru! I saw 3 new species at the bog today but no Ruby-throats yet. Guess I should get my feeders ready though!
