BIRDS FOUND IN THE EVERGLADES - FROM MY ARCHIVES

 These are an archive continuation from our trip to the Everglades in January 2014.  One of the many reasons I enjoy Florida is because of the abundance of birdlife.  You can get up relatively close to them, especially when we were in the Everglades.

Wood Stork above and the Great Blue Heron below.

Next shows you the extraordinary pattern of feathers on the Anhinga.

Another perched on an old tree branch...

and one taking off across the water.

The Green Heron I shared recently.

The following extraordinary-looking bird is a Purple Gallinule.  Look at those feet?  Its long toes help it to walk on floating vegetation like lilypads.

Next is a Tri-colored Heron.

and also a Great Blue Heron (link in my second photo). He had just caught his lunch. Further away and photo is a little blurry.  

I made a collage of heads and already identified above, except for the Double-crested Cormorant top right.

That's all for today. 

Thanks for looking and 

enjoy your Friday!
