Great Horned Owl mom and an owlet. There are two in this nestbox, but of course the two would never pop up at the same time and it is deep enough to hide them well. Happy to see this family with babies again this year.🪶

Sandhill Crane Flyover🪶

I am at heart a wildlife photographer and even while in the Grand Canyon I was looking for wildlife. This Golden Eagle we spotted sitting roadside near some roadkill with some Ravens. It took off when we stopped but I was able to get a couple of decent flight shots before it disappeared. 🪶

Caracara in flight - Love seeing these weirdos. They are definitely one of the most unique birds in Florida and it's always worth a trip to spend some time with them.🪶

Splish splash but not taking a bath. This Reddish Egret made short work of the little fishy. 🪶

Northern Harrier Hawk flyby-I stopped to photograph some ducks and a few seconds later this bird came tearing out of the reeds flying right past me. Just had time to raise the camera and fire off 3 shots. Glad they came out. The last one you can see the nictitating membrane.🪶

Reddish Egret Siblings - At least I think that's what is going on here. They appeared to be younger ones that argued like siblings.🪶

Mallards and Grebes are some of the more common birds and to be honest I usually don't pay much attention to them. On a recent outing, the light was hitting them just right and really showed them off. I got down close to the water level to get a good angle.🪶
