So thankful to have a roof over my head on this very rainy day 🌧 #birds #backyardphotography #birdsofbluesky #mockingbirds #floridabirds #birdphotography

Unsure if this injury is temporary, but may have gotten it doing something dastardly. When the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #attitude, #Cowbird is a great choice... #Birds #naturephotography #cowbirds #birdsofbluesky #floridabirds #photography

Even though the seed is meant for the birds, Chip decided it was all for him. He only started eating 10 minutes later, after the Doves gave up and left. One minute later, he moved on to my parsely 🌿 #rabbitsunday #birds #birdphotography #floridabirds #backyardphotography #Doves #rabbits #birders

Some interesting critters roaming the backyard. The weather has turned milder here in Florida (fingers crossed), which usually means the birds will be returning soon 😀 #backyardphotography #naturephotography #florida #dragonflies #snakes #lizards #odonata #photography

I've never shared this photo from 2023 before. Since it's #VultureAwarenessDay why not make it about the #manatees too? They have been rebounding in the Indian River Lagoon lately, hopefully it continues later this year 💚 #saveourlagoon #IRL #birds #vultures #naturephotography #floridasucks

Gulf Fritillary butterfly and a cute little Skipper enjoying some Bidens Alba. I'm fairly good with identifying butterflies, skippers not so much. #insectphotography #butterflies #skippers #naturephotography #nativeplants #floridawildlife

July in Florida, but there are still a few friends that visit my little backyard sanctuary 🥵 🥰 #naturephotography #floridawildlife #Rabbits #birds #odonata #dragonflies #butterflygarden #photography #littleblueheron

Fearless mockingbird watching over the three fledglings hopping around the yard. Red-shouldered Hawk eventually went on his way and all was well. #birds #naturephotography #floridabirds #mockingbirds #hawks #birdsofbluesky #birders

Mockingbirds love nesting in our hedges every year. Watching them never gets old...and they are excellent parents. #birds #naturephotography #floridabirds #mockingbirds #birdsofbluesky #photography #birders

It's a boy! A closer look at the scent gland on a newly born Monarch Butterfly. Males have one gland on each of their hind wings, females do not. #naturephotography #butterflies #monarchbutterfly #nature #florida

Photos are not great for size comparison, but an adult Marsh Rabbit (L) is only slightly larger than a young Eastern Cottontail (R). The easiest way to tell them apart is by the tail. Marsh Rabbits have smaller tails, and are the same color as their coat. #RabbitSunday #Rabbits #photography #florida

I love having Spoonies here as year round residents. It's great practice, as they are so easy to find and photograph. #birds #naturephotography #spoonies #floridawildlife #birdsofbluesky #roseatespoonbill

Lots of birds, in what was supposed to be a drainage ditch. It's currently a nice little neighborhood pond for many birds for half of the year. I've counted 10+ species in there at one time. Not serving it's original purpose, but...birds 😍 #birds #naturephotography #birdsofbluesky #floridawildlife

Leila celebrated her 10th birthday yesterday ❤️ It's hard to spoil her more than she's spoiled on a daily basis, but we sure tried. The pic is a few years old, but she pretty much looks the same...except she's a tiny bit chunkier now 😊 #dogphotography #dogs #mismarkedlab #dogsofbluesky #lrrof

Four Spotted Pennant (female). I would love a macro lens, but do I really need one? #naturephotography #odonata #insectphotography #dragonflies #macrophotography #floridawildlife

Such a weird, beautiful looking bird 😍 #birds #naturephotography #spoonies #birdsofbluesky #florida

Cuban Tree Frog says Happy Friday! They are invasive, but cute....and photogenic 🐸 #naturephotography #frogs #floridawildlife #blueskyphotography #tgif

First out of the nest! It's such a gift to be able to watch these birds nesting so close. I was keeping an eye on him, as there are a lot of hawks around... #birds #naturephotography #cardinals #floridabirds #birdsofbluesky

Lots of large gators out of the water yesterday. Thank you to unnamed man, who helped me walk past a few safely! Unsure what turtle was up to, not many birds, but was a beautiful day 🌞 #naturephotography #alligators #floridalife #OWP #birds #turtles

A little blue-eyed Brown Thrasher fledgling. He's out of the bush, but can't quite clear the fence yet... #birds #birdphotography #floridabirds #brownthrasher #birdsofbluesky

Trying to get a clear shot of a couple of Ospreys nesting. Although not clear, the White Ibis' photobomb makes it a little more interesting imo. And Osprey faces make me laugh #birds #osprey #naturephotography #floridabirds #blueskybirds

Close up of a rather gorgeous Muscovy Duck I found in a public park over the weekend. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder of course, but I'd never seen one that looks quite like this 😍 #birds #floridabirds #ducks #naturephotography #birdsofbluesky #duckface
