It must be said that
Just because a birdie haven is reeeally small,
Doesn't mean it doesn't hold
Some worthwhile,
Feathery foto ops!
Ru and I visited Sawgrass Sanctuary,
which has a walker's path circling the outer parameter.
The sanctuary is a mere 20 acres,
And we only found three birds here...BUT...
One was a lifer...
Actually another was a recent lifer too,
And this was my first photo op w/ it...
Walking out on the observation platform,
Ru spied this immature green heron
on the water's edge below us...the lifer...
A No. mockingbird landed on one of the platform posts.....
...And in the water between the platform and land,
A wood stork was feeding...
I've seen many wood storks since arriving in FL,
And was happy to get the op to take some close-up shots...
Also out and about,
Were many dragonflies,
Like this red one...
There were a few cypress trees on the water's edge.....
Heading out of the sanctuary,
We found a wood stork sunning
By a water canal....
Along with another lifer,
a tri-colored heron!
Woo hoo! :o)
