Sandhill Cranes typically have 2 babies, they are called colts. The nest is in the grassy/swampy area just outside of some campsites. Victor made friends with a couple whose camper is situated about 15 ft from the nest. Their camper has a “porch” off the back so there was the perfect elevation to see what’s going on. These babies were hatched this morning.
I took these last year but they look extra good now with our logo on it. Happy Valentines Day!
We are thinking about selling our photos. As a first step we have developed a signature. Here it is on my loggerhead shrike photo. This is from 2 years ago at Viera Wetlands, Viera FL. The nest was up in a tree. Vic backed the truck up so I was as close as I could get while standing in the toolbox.
I planted this poinsettia last year after Christmas and look at it now! it’s about 4 ft tall and huge.
We went to Black Point Drive, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge on Wednesday and saw so much great stuff. I took a lot of shots of the Kingfisher as it hovered next to me (!!!) Here’s a sampling of those and a couple of my other favorite shots.
These were both taken by Vic. He was patiently waiting for the right pose while I was quilting. Whose time was better spent? Lol
I saved one of my best photos to share with you and to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving.
While we were on Black Point Drive last Sunday a flock of tricolor herons flew over. I caught these two. It looks like they are having a mid-air chat doesn’t it? (This looks better on a larger than phone screen.)
I think these herons are so pretty. I took this yesterday at Black Point Drive. Titusville/Merritt Island FL
I took this while standing on the truck toolbox on our recent trip to Titusville FL, on a drive through Black Point Drive.
