If you’ve ever been in or around the Florida Everglades and seen a slender lilacky-mauve, stone blue, and white colored bird jovially foraging alone in coastal waters, you’ve likely spotted a Tricolored Heron
The Double-crested Cormorant (Nannopterum auritum) is a curious creature. Often confused with ducks, Anhingas, small geese, and loons, these large awkward waterbirds are year-round residents of Florida…
One of the most refined & elegant waterbirds, the Snowy Egret is the ultimate aviator. From mating to feeding, nothing about them is ordinary.
The Great Egret is the official symbol of the National Audubon Society for a good reason. This waterbird is elegant, refined, and a survivor.
If a camera lens were capable of having a sweet tooth, it would undoubtedly have one for the Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja). Easily one of Florida’s most iconic
If you’ve ever visited the swamps, wetlands or mangroves in and around the Florida Everglades, there’s a chance you’ve seen one of these stealthy, snake-like waterbirds gliding through shallow marshes.
Have you ever seen something so incredible that it stops you in your tracks? I’m talking about the feeling of awing inspiration, the kind that leaves you basking in astonishment, curiosity, and enchantment. The kind that makes you scratch your head and ask, what the heck did I just see? That’s the best way to describe one of my most recent wildlife encounters where I humbly reveled in the presence of a few of the famed and very rare, Reddish Egrets.
If we’re being honest, wood storks are pretty awkward looking, but certainly beautiful in their own right. The only stork indigenous to North America, these wading birds are tall and robust with a football-shaped body dawning long black legs and pink toes.
Majestic predators. That’s the perfect way to describe Ospreys. These carnivorous raptors are unique North American hawks, known mostly for their diet and foraging habits. Also called the “Fish Hawk”, the Osprey is dignified and ferociously sly. Built similarly to a gull, these large birds dive for their food feet first and boast distinct plumage.
Great Blue Herons—what spectacularly marvelous creatures. Living in South Florida where Blue Herons live, breed, and nest, I’ve had the privilege of photographing dozens of these whimsically majestic birds during every season. Whether foraging for its next meal or slowly gliding along the wetlands with slow, swooshing wingbeats and a head hunched back onto its shoulders, the Great Blue Heron is as impressive as it is ceremonious. I have to say that of all the birds I photograph, I find them to be among the most entertaining, second only to the Reddish Egret.
