World Bird Wednesday XIII

Suzanne and I are spending our last half day in Florida before getting back to the business of shoveling water instead of swimming in it. We have a beautiful hotel room over looking the  white sand Gulf of Mexico coast line. The birds we have seen from our fourth floor window could fill a thousand pages. Indeed, we skitter along the break water our heads on a 360 degree swivel trying to absorb our fanciful surroundings. "Look," I say,"A porpoise fishing!"
"A porpoise with a purpose," She responds. Right! I am super-tourist with my over sized lens hanging from my neck like a wacky medallion and my neck as pink as an embarrassed flamingo. This is how we roll.
These little Heron nestlings are residents of the Venice Rookery a tiny patch of bird paradise packed with a menagerie of exotic bird life. I will be spending hours identifying the treasures stored on my SD card.
Now, back to the beach for one last time!

  18. I love great blue herons -- and you got fabulous pictures. I hope you're not freezing to death after getting back home. (When we lived in rainy Oregon, that was always the trouble with Winter vacations.) No more worries about that now (but of course the downside is that we're old ;>)!)

  19. Ah! I thought I already commented on this one, guess it was all in my head! Those chicks are awfully cute. I think I love 'em! My husband is headed to FL in about three weeks to go birding. I'm a little jealous, but I'll already be in Texas working so he's gotta go solo this time. Hope to go sometime later in the summer at least. Hope you guys had a blast!

  21. Hi - thanks for the comment on my Black-Shouldered Kite. Did not really know it was looking straight down the barrel of the lens until I took it off the camera - have to say I was rather pleased!

    Thanks for the whole WBW thing!

  23. Your shots are awesome! My photos pale in comparison so I'd hesitate to link in to one of your WBW sites!

    We get herons here all the time but I've never had the privilege of seeing their young. Ugly little critters, aren't they?! :)
