Show of hands, how many of my local friends have heard this bird called a flamingo?
Check out this lovely painting @gerry.mcelroy made of my photo. So beautiful! Thanks Gerry!
Happy Tenderness Toward Existence Day. Yeah, it’s a thing. I like to celebrate it daily. 💚🌳
Bald cypress. This tree is a conifer that sheds, hence its name. That’s a bit unusual for conifers, but then again, there are a lot of unusual things in Florida. Cypress trees can live hundreds of years. They’re related to the giant sequoias out west and are possibly one of the largest trees this side of the Rocky Mountains, growing up to 150 feet tall. Florida is home to the largest bald cypress/royal palm swamp in the world, at Fakahatchee Strand State Park. (This photo was taken as Six Mile Cypress Slough.)
Symbiosis.
Double-crested Cormorant with a little feathery bill decoration.
I went out yesterday looking for alligators. Silly I know, since it was cold and rainy. I knew they’d all be hiding. Still, I tried. I’m looking for a very specific alligator pose for a photo I need. Alligators are not very good at taking posing instruction. So you get this lovely little cold tricolored heron instead. 💙
Snack time. Here’s another of my favorite Florida birds, despite being so common and maybe a little odd looking - the white ibis.
What’s your favorite Florida bird?
