Florida: her birds, her gators, sunsets and beaches with a few other things thrown in. May 19, 2013. The Birds around Arenal, Costa Rica. I am happy to report the completion of the Costa Rica Series culminating with the Birds of Volcano Lodge. The exotic garden offered up. Some of the most colorful birds. I have ever photographed. There were a ton of tanagers. And Toucan or two. Now make like the birds and flock on over to. The Costa Rica Bird Gallery. What bird do you like best? Links to this post.

Florida: her birds, her gators, sunsets and beaches with a few other things thrown in. Sep 14, 2014. Pics of the week: Loggerhead Shrike. I came across this Loggerhead Shrike while driving along the Joe Overstreet Trail. The shrike is quite the hunter and will often impale his prey (frogs, anoles, dragonflies) on barb wire fences.

Florida: her birds, her gators, sunsets and beaches with a few other things thrown in. Apr 27, 2014. Pic of the week: George the Sandhill Crane. We have a neighborhood sand hill crane dubbed, George. George hangs out in a couple particular driveways wasting away the hours of the day. We don't know if he is alone, or if there nest with his mate and offspring nearby. Time will tell. If we see little George's strolling through the area, we will let you know. Links to this post. Apr 20, 2014. Pic of the week.

This photo, as well as the next two were post processed with Topaz. She looks so carefree. I gave this a classic 1930's feel. Topaz Labs Clean is a way cool program. I used it to get the smooth finish on the chrome. Set for Take Off. An open hood help avoid reflections setting up this "chrome-matic" shot. Drop ...

Florida: her birds, her gators, sunsets and beaches with a few other things thrown in. Aug 23, 2014. Pics of the Week: Backyard Butterflies and Birds. I have been spending some time updating my websites including a new web site (more info to follow) so the cameras have been sitting idle. They really needed to cool off anyway after the workout they endured in Arizona. This week I pulled the Canon 7D out and sat in the back yard to see what was happening. Links to this post. Pic of the week. Aug 16, 2014.

Florida: her birds, her gators, sunsets and beaches with a few other things thrown in. Jun 23, 2013. Hummingbirds in The Back Yard. I have been following a hummingbird in the back yard. Actually there are two. I am not sure if they are juveniles, but both are females. I have not seen the male. They love the fire cracker bush and come a few times a day. Countless hours have been spent trying to photograph them but they are illusive as all get out. Porter Weed. Plant it and they will come. The Lonestar Nor...

Florida: her birds, her gators, sunsets and beaches with a few other things thrown in. Feb 23, 2014. Pic of the Week: Cardinal Kisses. Caught these two love birds in the back yard.

One of the most popular post of mine has been my Hummingbird post. A couple years ago. So it was a no-brainer to have a separate post for the hummingbirds I photographed in Costa Rica. I believe each of these to be the rufous-tailed hummingbird except one of them, which I will point out below. They seemed to really be attracted to this plant, a porter weed.

Florida: her birds, her gators, sunsets and beaches with a few other things thrown in. Jul 20, 2014. Birdsong Nature Center - Thomasville GA. So I was in the area and stopped in at the Birdsong Nature Center near Thomasville GA. What attracted me to the place was their picture window overlooking a set of bird feeders. I set up a page on my web site. For this site so I won't bore you here with another diatribe on how wonderful the nature center is. Here is a tease on what I saw during my visit. Click this...
