I never know when I explore the trails at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge what I am going to find. Spoonbills, herons, anhingas, various ducks and alligators are most common.
On my most recent visit I spotted this flock of white birds and stopped and zoomed in. It is a colony of white pelicans. Brown pelicans are much more common in this area, the white one's are a real treat. Pretty birds.
Have you seen any pretty birds recently?
aside from my everyday blue jays and cardinals, no. and I am not talking baseball teams here either!
ReplyDeletebut I have never seen a white pelican in the wild.
Gulls and terns and monk parakeets. Hoping to go exploring and see something different soon.
ReplyDeleteI see various hawks through the winter, and have seen them dining on carrion shoulder-to-shoulder with vultures...I think black vultures are handsome birds.

We love our lorikeets. They cheer our souls, just for the price of a bit of bird seed and a bit of bread. We only have a small back yard, but it is enlivened beyond imagination by the visits every day by up to 20 or 30 of these birds. They're pretty noisy, but we find it a happy sound.
ReplyDeleteAt DTW I saw a rugby team en route to Seattle.
ReplyDeleteI still marvel at the hummingbirds drinking at my small fountain out front by the King Palm.
