Here’s a fun bird I tried so hard to capture last year and finally got a good shot of this January, a Belted Kingfisher!! As their name suggests, they are great fishers, flying along waterways and diving for fish once spotted! Their calls are distinctive once you learn them but they fly so fast it can be hard (for me) to get good pictures of them unless they are perching 😂😅💙 . . .

f you're a nature lover, you'll be amazed at the beauty of clumping bamboo! Not only is it an eco-friendly and sustainable material, but it's also a stunning plant that can add a touch of Zen to any outdoor space. With its graceful, arching canes and lush foliage, clumping bamboo is a perfect choice for creating a natural privacy screen, a peaceful garden oasis, or an exotic Asian-themed landscape.

But the beauty of clumping bamboo isn't just visual. It also provides a natural habitat for many birds and other wildlife. One such bird is the beautiful cardinal, which is known for its vibrant red plumage and sweet, melodious song.

In fact, we recently filmed an incredible video of a cardinal perched on a clumping bamboo branch, singing its heart out and making all sorts of delightful noises. It's truly a mesmerizing sight and sound to behold, and we can't help but feel grateful for the beauty of nature and all the amazing creatures that call it home.

So if you're looking to enhance the beauty of your outdoor space and connect with nature, consider planting some clumping bamboo and inviting some friendly cardinals to come and serenade you. It's an experience you won't soon forget!

Told someone about this photo the other day and how the pelicans lined up so nicely to show their different stages of landing in a tree. I realized I had never shared it; and also that I miss having a boat to cruise out to the Audubon Island (always at a distance and with a very long lens, of course) and Three Rooker. #birdnerd #floridabirding #roamflorida #happierplace #audubonsociety #audubonflorida (at St Joseph Sound) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clj_1_qrtDW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Great blue herons sturdy bill is ideal for stabbing prey which the heron will then orient to slide down its throat headfirst, in the case of fish.

Warbler Surprise! During these dry autumn days when birds migrate through Florida, spraying water over your taller plants can attract a variety of warblers to come shower, bathe, and drink. Top: Prairie Warbler Bottom: Magnolia Warbler After I took these photos, a Palm Warbler showed up, and I got a video. I'll share that next... #stpetersbird #your_best_birds #birds_adored #backyardoasis #happierplace #warbler #magnoliawarbler #prairiewarbler #Floridabirds #floridabirding #ebirdfrontpage #birdnerd #historickenwood #stpeteflorida (at St. Petersburg, FL) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj-h9QjOvQJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Like many large wading birds, once the little blue heron reaches full adulthood it will have very few predators. In the wild, little blue herons have been observed fleeing from Harris hawks!

Thanks to https://santarosa.wbu.com/chickadee-fun-facts for the these fun facts.

• Chickadees usually mate for life.

• Chestnut-backed and Black-capped chickadees keep an eye on the food-finding success of other individuals, if one bird is doing especially well; they adapt their behavior, whereas unproductive tactics are not copied.

• The oldest banded Black-capped Chickadee recaptured in the wild had lived 12 years and 5 months.

• Have you noticed how ravenously the birds eat at your bird feeders, especially first thing in the morning and just before dusk? Chickadees can gain as much as 10 percent of their body weight each day and lose it all again during a cold winter night.

• Chickadees are a tough little bird that do not migrate. During cold weather Chickadees have been found to need twenty times more food than they do in summer.
