I caught this guy in mid hop.

This gal was in a pond at the San Pablo Commons with the male I posted earlier.

I took this photo near the Mayo Clinic (San Pablo Commons). It's a pretty wild area just West of the Intracoastal Waterway. I always take a camera when we visit the Mayo because you just never know what you will see. This was my first chance to get shots of the Hooded Merganser.

This guy was traveling with Blackpoll Warblers and they were all feeding in a pear tree in my back yard. Although they are more common in my yard than the Blackpoll, this is the first sighting for me this year.

This Snow Goose was first reported hanging around Jacksonville in January 2016 at a wildlife management area (Purdue Pond). I managed to get up there and get a few shots, although, they aren't totally uncommon to Florida, I had never heard of one wintering in Jacksonville. He hung with the...

I see these often during migration, but the males are pretty elusive. This gal was eating berries from our Lantana bush. She let me get pretty close and from what I understand, Black-throated Blues will allow you to get pretty close.

Pretty rare in my neighborhood, but I shot these while they were visiting a pear tree in my back yard. My first sighting of the Blackpoll. They were traveling with some Cape May Warblers. I got some good shots of those and will post later.

These guys are rare in my neighborhood, even with a feeder out. We have a couple that frequent the feeder, but we go days without a sighting. I caught this guy in mid scratch.

I love these guys! For the past 2 years we have had several pairs nesting in our yard or close enough so that they hunt in the yard. Every evening they give that distinctive chirp and "breep" call and snap up moths and other insects, along with the berries from our Lantana bush. They...

This immature Yellow-crowned Night-Heron was spotted along the banks of a small creek that runs from a man-made lake to Salt Run an estuary found within Anastasia State Park.

We went to Huguenot Memorial Park near Jacksonville, Fl. to work as a bird stewards on a busy weekend and managed to capture this image of a tern in flight. The sky was beautiful resulting in the vivid colors in the photo.

This Osprey landed in a tree near our camper at Jonathan Dickinson State Park, near Hobe Sound, FL, USA. We are camped in a mesic flat woods near the Intercoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. The Osprey was making a lot of noise, then suddenly the flapping fish focused his attention as it...
