I wanted to share this photo, not because the duck is rare or anything but because the total effect is so beautiful. The water is like liquid silver and the reflection is as clear as the actual bird. This is a female.

I got this shot of the American Bittern. There are two of these out there, on opposite sides of the Wetlands.

First, here is a glossy Ibis showing off his beautiful plumage.

The babies are getting BIG and standing up and flapping a little.

This is the most elusive bird, we have been trying to get a decent picture for weeks. He was sitting near the top of a tall dead tree yesterday. Vic stopped the car and I walked up. (The diesel makes a racket.) He didn’t stay long but I did get some good shots before he took off. Yesterday at Viera Wetlands.

We saw the Sandhill Cranes today. We are hoping to see their offspring one of these days.

Victor thinks this gator looks like he’s wearing a toupee. Haha!

Victor gave me a huge box of Godiva, a rare treat for sure.
