We finally had a chance to see the Tri-Colored Heron chick. There are twigs in the way, but you can still get a good look at the little one.
The resident Green Heron at the boardwalk didn’t disappoint and posed very nicely.
We watched this Pileated Woodpecker for a couple of minutes. He was calling out while many Ibis were flying overhead making sounds. The ospreys were squawking and there were lots of bird noises. Just as I dropped my camera to look around, a hawk almost grabbed this woodpecker, but he managed to get away. I missed a good shot, too!
The little Fiddler Crab below wasn’t much bigger than my thumb. We must have seen hundreds of them along Wildlife Drive today.
We were treated to several Roseate Spoonbills along Wildlife Drive again. This one came in for a landing while we watched. I love the angel wings look.
This partial rainbow was above the Roseate Spoonbills as we drove up.
There were a few of the Spoonbills busy taking a bath. They looked like they were having too much fun! I took way too many photos of them doing this (of course).
To shorten the page, I’ll put the rest of the Spoonbills on the carousel below.
Then we made a quick stop at the Bailey Tract. The Osprey below was circling above the water.
By the time we got over near the pond, he had caught a fish and landed on the top of a dead tree.
There was one Black-Necked Stilt. It looked a bit lonely.
The sunset over the lake behind our house was beautiful last night. It almost looked like a painting.
