South Florida is full of wetlands and wading and marsh birds; here a Glossy Ibis…
…here a long-toed Purple Gallinule…
…and here a Least Bittern.
In these surrounding, happiness can be…
…a baby Limpkin or…
…a feeding Tricolored Heron or with luck…
…even a Smooth-billed Ani.
We’ll soon head to the pine and scrub of south-central Florida where we often see our first Swallow-tailed Kites…
…and look for Bachman’s Sparrow and…
…Sandhill Crane.
fIt isn’t long before we’re back in the marshes; here at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary where…
…Wood Storks sometimes nest…
…and where Barred Owls and…
…Red-shouldered Hawks are abundant.
As we move into extreme south Florida and the Keys, we’ll look for Black-whiskered Vireo and…
…perhaps we’ll see such recent colonists as Shiny Cowbird…
…and Cave Swallow.
Fort Jefferson on the Dry Tortugas is a splendid place…
…where we’ll certainly see Brown Noddy…
…and large numbers of other nesting and visiting seabirds.
There are often migrants - here a charming Ovenbird - present on the Tortugas, sometimes in large number.
We’ll finish around Miami where there are many introduced but long-established parrots; here a White-winged Parakeet.
