Another Willet shot, my favorite so far as it’s a bit of an action shot! I captured this one walking along and you can see the sand being kicked up by the leg in back! 💕😁 . . .

Cattle Egret is one of the prettier birds in the Egret Family. This one near the nest at Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Palm Beach, FL. .

Eagle pair at Ames Park this morning. She caught a fish and landed on the roof, then he flew over. Figures... Lazy males. 😂🤣😂 #birdwatching #birdwatcher #birding #birdinginflorida #birdsofafeather #eagles #baldeagles #raptorbirds #floridabirding #floridabirds #floridaeagles #MelanieCranfordPhotography #iwillshowyoumyworld #iwillshootyouwithmycamera #birdlife #OrmondBeach #FloridaLife #AmericanEagle #eaglesofflorida #eaglesofinstagram September 12, 2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/B2URD1oA-B1/?igshid=113lgva24qfe6

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=

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.

Red shoulder hawk looks like he’s been shy but actually was leaning against wind.

Another Yellow-crowned Night-Heron but I finally saw a mature one! It’s so cool the difference in feathers between the various ages and times of year for birds, from soft and fluffy, to textured, to sleek, dull, or colorful!! There will be many birds I photograph and will never be able to see all their different colorations (since so many have their breeding colors way up north)! 💙 . . .

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=

Flying lessons for a baby Tricolored Heron 

As these particular herons mature they will tend to lunge or snap at the parent who is returning to the nest with food. This leads the parent tricolored to approach the young with a bow, perhaps as a sign of peace. In this photo, mom is helping her young take its wings for a spin. One cannot help but think the life of an adult Tricolored heron is oddly familiar to anyone who has raised a teenager.
