Florida has what's called The Great Florida Birding Trail...
I haven't visited any of the sites on the trail yet...
(Thanks for the good tip, Bob!)...
But nature parks are in abundance...
And we've visited a couple in the past week...
So far the parks have been well-maintained,
And small, like Tree Tops Park.
We walked to the end of the boardwalk,
And after we walked away, this
Little Blue Heron landed by the covered sitting area,
So I crept back to get photos.
It posed nicely...
Swamp lilies were growing in the...swamp...
Kind of shocking to see lilies in this setting!
These berries are truly this color...
The beautyberry...common...
And stunning...
A distant common moorhen was paddling about in the swamp...
A great egret was carefully fishing...
A very common bird in FL...
Many white peacock butterflies were flitting, also common here...
...And a floating red-bellied turtle was hanging out.
That little Blue Heron has a hint of the same wine coloring on his feathers as seen on the Swamp Lilies and the Beautyberries.
