Kind of excited! Kept seeing what I thought were Terns at the nearby park. Had a hard time getting photos close enough for a better look, but they turned out to be Black Skimmers. Lifer 👏

Bright white ibis with blue eyes picking through acorns on the ground. The sun shines brightly on the bird and the ground and there are large rocks behind it.
A bright white ibis standing up and facing the viewers left. There are several large rocks behind the bird, and the viewer can see water from the lake behind the rocks.
It’s easy to take the Ibis for granted in Florida. I think they’re beautiful. 🪶

Wait near Tampa??? For real?
Red bellied woodpecker with black and white patterned wings and a bright red stripe down the back of their head and neck. The bird is sitting on some moss and looking away from the camera toward a softly blurred background of green trees on a sunny day.

Pretty little red-bellied woodpecker near the lake. Lucky me that they made so much noise up above ☺️

Really! I will watch out for it from now on ☺️
I’m baffled by this one- usually the rule is less saturated as you go into the distance. Yet, here we are making perfect sense. I guess rules are meant to be broken!
embarrassing myself

Totally understandable, maybe someday you’ll suddenly realize you’ve done all of them 😂
I love this though ❤️
Oh, is this happening? PLEASE tell me this is happening 👀

The Two of Swords- a difficult decision must be made, but in what direction? Facing the problem head-on is the only way forward.

I told the mycelia about you and it wanted me to tell you to not worry about today. They said “just absorb nutrients for now, you’ll grow big mushrooms later when the weather is right and your roots are ready”

Beautiful sheen of color on the feathers. Grackles are so common in Florida, but I think they’re some of my favorites.

Birds have significantly better eyesight than us which is why I get nice and sexy to go birdwatching

Missing my dad today. Here’s some of his birds instead of mine.
White ibis bird walking through bright green grass in search of a meal. The bird is facing the viewers right and has a bright blue eye.
A white ibis using its long beak to search for worms in the wet green grass. It has a bright blue eye.
The white ibis is pretty common to see in central Florida, but not in my yard.
I also didn’t realize they had such pretty blue eyes (do the zoom) ☺️🪶
