    A new lifer for me — Common Sandpiper

    Located right next to my apartment, there is what used to be an artificial lake. It has now been mostly drained and turned into a rainwater retention basin with a small stream flowing through the middle of it. It was at this former lake that I saw my very first Common Sandpiper today. I hadn't...

    Providing water for birds in summer

    Hello everyone 👋, this is my first post. I wondered if anyone might have advice about water sources for birds, particularly in the summer months? I live in an apartment block (not ground level) and have thought about attaching a shallow bowl of water on my windowsill for any little birds. Is...

    Frog? What Frog??

    I have sat and waited hours in the marsh reeds for shots like this, but there was no need for waiting this time. I just happened to walk up on this Egret trying to finish its meal. I shot it as it turned towards me as if to say, "Frog? What frog???"

    Do You Think He Sees Us??

    Cool thing about living in Florida is you don't need to go to a zoo or park to see alligators. Sometimes they're right in your back yard! This one, however, wasn't in my backyard but it was out in one of my favorite wetland areas close to the St Johns River. It represents a good example of an...

    Active Morning

    Finally was able to get out this morning and get some shots at one of my favorite wetland areas. The sunrise was beautiful with so much bird activity! This was one of my favorite shot of today with all the birds in the air and the solitary Anhinga in the tree top!
