This is a mature Spoonbill, notice the vivid coloring and black markings on the bill. I took this recently during a trip to Black Point Drive, Titusville, Fl. The lighting was just right.

He’s a beauty isn’t he? Took this while we visited Ft Meyer Beach, Fl.

Found this tree while riding around the resort. Vic wants to put a face on the tree on our lot. Sounds fun to me!

Haven’t seen any family members for at least a year and a half and I’m sure you can relate to the hardship that’s been! Kelly came for a few days and we had many much needed hugs. One day we went in search of bonsai trees so that’s the first photo. Another day we met Holly Ave, my sister, and her husband Andy at a park mid way between us. No photos were taken, we were just so caught up in the “now”. Epic failure but we had a wonderful time.

We also drove through Apopka Wildlife Drive where I got this red shouldered hawk.

I also got this black crowned night heron.

Love this bench arrangement. In front of a house near our RV park.

We came to the Sanibel Captiva area for a few days. Vic was shooting an Osprey nest while I walked Zoe on the beach. Zoe turned 2 on Feb 25.

Another capture from Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge. I took this one. He dove for a fish but didn’t get one. That’s why there are water droplets coming off him.

We’ve been going over to the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge whenever possible lately. This Osprey photo is from there , taken during our last trip a few days ago when we had a beautiful sunny day. We’ve seen a lot of cold and cloudy days this winter. It’s hard to complain knowing the rest of the country is in such misery. Anyways… here is my Osprey hovering, searching for a fish. Hope you are looking on a bigger screen than a phone.

He has a “Pinocchio” nose doesn’t he? We found this bird sitting on a clump with reeds growing up behind him and it was hard to distinguish the bird from the background. I had to wait until he decided to swim around.
