Northern Cardinal fledgling nodding off, waiting for mom to return with some grub. #birds #naturephotography #cardinals #fledglingfriday #floridabirds #birdsofbluesky

Lots of birds, in what was supposed to be a drainage ditch. It's currently a nice little neighborhood pond for many birds for half of the year. I've counted 10+ species in there at one time. Not serving it's original purpose, but...birds 😍 #birds #naturephotography #birdsofbluesky #floridawildlife

Leila celebrated her 10th birthday yesterday ❤️ It's hard to spoil her more than she's spoiled on a daily basis, but we sure tried. The pic is a few years old, but she pretty much looks the same...except she's a tiny bit chunkier now 😊 #dogphotography #dogs #mismarkedlab #dogsofbluesky #lrrof

Four Spotted Pennant (female). I would love a macro lens, but do I really need one? #naturephotography #odonata #insectphotography #dragonflies #macrophotography #floridawildlife

Such a weird, beautiful looking bird 😍 #birds #naturephotography #spoonies #birdsofbluesky #florida

Cuban Tree Frog says Happy Friday! They are invasive, but cute....and photogenic 🐸 #naturephotography #frogs #floridawildlife #blueskyphotography #tgif

First out of the nest! It's such a gift to be able to watch these birds nesting so close. I was keeping an eye on him, as there are a lot of hawks around... #birds #naturephotography #cardinals #floridabirds #birdsofbluesky

Lots of large gators out of the water yesterday. Thank you to unnamed man, who helped me walk past a few safely! Unsure what turtle was up to, not many birds, but was a beautiful day 🌞 #naturephotography #alligators #floridalife #OWP #birds #turtles

Happy Father's Day #birds #naturephotography #floridabirds #birdsofbluesky #cardinals

Great Blue Heron enjoying the sunset after dinner. #birds #naturephotography #waderwednesday #floridabirds

A little blue-eyed Brown Thrasher fledgling. He's out of the bush, but can't quite clear the fence yet... #birds #birdphotography #floridabirds #brownthrasher #birdsofbluesky

Trying to get a clear shot of a couple of Ospreys nesting. Although not clear, the White Ibis' photobomb makes it a little more interesting imo. And Osprey faces make me laugh #birds #osprey #naturephotography #floridabirds #blueskybirds

A Limpkin about to enjoy a fresh Apple Snail. #birds #naturephotography #floridabirds #birdsofbluesky #limpkin

Close up of a rather gorgeous Muscovy Duck I found in a public park over the weekend. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder of course, but I'd never seen one that looks quite like this 😍 #birds #floridabirds #ducks #naturephotography #birdsofbluesky #duckface

Close up of an adult Florida soft-shelled turtle, that can give a nasty bite! Even from behind, as they have very long necks that can extend halfway down their shell. A few kind folks have found that out, picking them up and trying to help them across the road #naturephotography #florida #turtles

Misty morning front view of an Eastern Amberwing on a blade of grass. #amateurphotography #dragonfly #naturephotography #insectphotography #odonata #macrophotography #florida

Young Sandhill Crane in the yard who just couldn't keep his eyes open. Parents and sibling were close by foraging, and Dad was watching me. Little one felt secure enough to rest with me just 15ft away. Cranes are said to be a bridge to the spiritual world and bring happiness. Thx 😊 #birds #cranes

A florida squirrel enjoying some tropical fruit. #floridalife #sqrlpix #squirrel #naturephotography

Found this little guy with his nose to my front door, just spinning his wheels. I decided to take him around back and let him continue on his journey. I did get a cute portrait first. And I may need to change my banner pic now 🤔 #photography #naturephotography #turtle #macrophotography #florida

Dinnertime for the Spoonies! Taken on the Merritt Island NWR, outside Kennedy Space Center. #naturephotography #birds #birdsofbluesky #floridabirds #spoonies

We do have year-round Eastern Meadowlarks in Florida! You just need to find a big open prairie...or a golf course. #naturephotography #birds #easternmeadowlark #floridabirds #birdphotography

Great Blue Heron enjoying the catch of the day! I watched him struggle with eating this for quite a while, then I had to move on. It always seems that their prey can't possibly fit in their mouth, but it probably did... #naturephotography #birds #floridawildlife #birdsofbluesky #greatblueheron

Another Seaside Dragonlet just hanging out and looking beautiful #nature #photography #dragonfly #floridawildlife #naturephotography #insectphotography

Florida Scrub Jay minding his business, and not bothered by me at all. #birds #nature #florida #scrubjay #birdphotography

Mama Gator playing with her food! I imagine this is to make it easier for her and her young to eat? Unlucky critter looks to have been a raccoon, long dead. The natural world is always fascinating to me, even when it's not so pretty. #photography #naturephotography #floridawildlife #alligator

White Ibis putting his feathers back in place after a hard rain #photography #birds #floridawildlife #birdsofbluesky #whiteibis

Beautiful little Hermit Thrush. Taken in February while visiting Hillsborough County here in Florida. #birds #naturephotography #floridawildlife #hermitthrush #birdphotography

The Brown Thrasher is one of my favorite birds! It's unusual to see them up on the feeder, but this one struck a nice pose for me. #photography #birds #floridawildlife #brownthrasher #birdphotography

I came upon another Dusky Pygmy Rattlesnake. I see them fairly often here in the sandy scrubs. Usually they are going somewhere, but this one was just eyeballing me and let me get a closer look 👀 #naturephotography #floridawildlife #snakes #pygmyrattlesnake

Red-bellied Woodpecker enjoying the flowers on our white bird of paradise. He also enjoys hammering on our gutters at dawn everyday #birds #floridawildlife #woodpeckers #woodpeckerwednesday #birdsofbluesky

Thanks to a patch of boggy land unfit for development, our neighborhood Marsh Rabbits are thriving! #naturephotography #floridawildlife #bunnies
