More of My Florida Birds

I know I’ve become a ‘broken record’ expressing how much fun I had with Florida’s bird paradise.  I am still in awe as I review my photos of the constant photo ops that were readily available.  If you didn’t have your camera with you at all times, you would surely miss an opportunity.  I know I did, and I was literally bummed at those times.

Here’s a few more I wanted to share from last month.

The following are three more “lifers” to my bird list.  In all on my Florida trip, I added 17 “lifers”.  It was exciting and shows I need to do more traveling to see new birds in other regions.   🙂
