Meet the limpkin, a very unique Florida bird! You'll often find them near the water looking for their favourite food: apple snails. I intended on sharing a bunch of Florida bird photos in one post, but I liked this set of photographs so much that I decided to give the shy limpkin some time in the spotlight. Fun fact for the last photo in the post: Harry Potter fans might recognize the limpkin's distinct and LOUD calls since recordings of limpkins were used to create the sounds of Buckbeak the hippogriff in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban!" . Photos from May 2024 in Central Florida. . . . . . #limpkin #floridabirds #floridabird #hippogriff #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #floridawildlife

Have you ever seen a leucistic Common Gallinule before?! Actually, it's somewhere in the range of 1 out of every 30,000 birds shows some form of leucistic plumage. Leucism is caused by the lack of melanin in the skin, hair, fur, or feathers of an animal. This isn't the same as albinism, which is caused by the lack of all pigment due to the animal missing the enzyme tyrosine. This is why animals that are albino have pink eyes while leucistic animals still have color in their iris. #commongallinule #leucistic #notalbino #leucisticbird #birdsofinstagram #nature #naturephotography #wildflorida #discoverflorida #discoverfloridawildlife #eye_spy_birds #bestbirdshots #nuts_about_birds #best_birds_photography #floridabird #nestingseason2024 #springmigration2024 #birdphotography #birding #birdwatching #floridabirding #floridabirds #audubonsociety #lakeapopkawildlifedrive #orangecountybirds #orangecountybirding #nikonz8 #nikonphotography #maxbirdfacts

Brown pelican. This image was taken very early in the morning, before the sun had risen over the horizon.

Bahama Mockingbird popped up nearby so I jetted over there after work on Friday!! Luckily it put on a great show posing, eating, and chasing away any other bird that dared to fly in to its tree 🌳

I had some time to do a revision on a painting I worked on last year. It was two wood storks painted in limited palette. I decided to change the color of birds to green — which is not characteristic of the species. More lively and vibrant. . . . . #woodstorks #birds #birdwatercolor #watercolorbird #florida #floridabird #carolcarter

Eastern Kingbird (Tyrannus tyrannus) watching a dragonfly, considering if it would make a nice lunch. This wouldn’t be a difficult task for such a skilled aerial predator. Like many of the Tyrant Flycatchers of the New World, Eastern Kingbirds are primarily insectivores that capture their prey on the wing, also known as “hawking.” These birds are spring and summer residents of North America and retire to west-central South America during the fall and winter. While in their wintering grounds, EAKIs often consume fruit and berries and stay in loose flocks. #easternkingbird #kingbird #tyrantflycatcher #flycatcher #EAKI #birdsofinstagram #nature #naturephotography #wildflorida #discoverflorida #discoverfloridawildlife #eye_spy_birds #bestbirdshots #nuts_about_birds #best_birds_photography #floridabird #nestingseason2024 #springmigration2024 #birdphotography #birding #birdwatching #floridabirding #floridabirds #audubonsociety #lakeapopkawildlifedrive #orangecountybirds #orangecountybirding #nikonz8 #nikonphotography #maxbirdfacts

Least Bittern (Ixobrychus exilis) male foraging at the NE corner of Laughlin and Interceptor. This is by far my best photo of a Least Bittern and the shot I’ve been hoping for years. While I've seen flashes of this elusive bird several times, this was the first one I've caught in the open, and I'm not sure who was more surprised, me or the Bittern! Males are distinguishable from females, where the male has a black crown and back, and the female is more brown. These diminutive relatives of herons and egrets nest in cattail stands and stay hidden among these reeds much of the time, so seeing one in the open like this is a real treat. #leastbittern #bittern #floridabittern #heron #heronidentification #elusivebird #rareopportunity #birdsofinstagram #nature #naturephotography #wildflorida #discoverflorida #discoverfloridawildlife #eye_spy_birds #bestbirdshots #nuts_about_birds #pocket_birds #floridabird #nestingseason #springmigration #birdphotography #birding #birdwatching #birdingphotography #floridabirding #floridabirds #lakeapopkawildlifedrive #orangecountybirds #orangecountybirding #maxbirdfacts

Northern Flicker (Yellow-shafted) (Colaptes auratus auratus) male gave me the photo I’ve wanted for a while. We can clearly see the yellow color on the ventral aspect of its tail feathers (rectrices). This is the marker for the eastern subspecies of the bird. It was even considered its own species as the Yellow-shafted Flicker (Colaptes auratus) until 1982, when it was lumped with the then-called Red-shafted Flicker (Colaptes cafer) to form the current Northern Flicker, taking the species name from the Yellow-shafted since it predates the Red-shafted. Males are distinguished by their bold, black malar stripe or mustache. This black marking is red for the western Red-shafted subspecies. #northernflicker #northernflickerwoodpecker #flicker #woodpecker #woodpeckeridentification #subspecies #yellowshaftedflicker #yellowshaftednorthernflicker #floridawoodpecker #floridabird #nestingseason #springmigration #birdphotography #birding #birdwatching #birdingphotography #floridabirding #floridabirds #lakeapopkawildlifedrive #orangecountybirds #orangecountybirding #maxbirdfacts

📸Tricolored Heron 🐟If they’re not doing their silly little dance of confusion, herons will stalk through the water as slowly as possible and, when ready to strike, they’ll unfurl their long necks to dart fish with their pointed beaks. It looks so silly when they have their necks all curled up, but them spearing fish is wild. 🐟You can help birds like the tricolored heron by keeping your local waterways clean and helping advocate for mangrove protections. Mangroves are trees and shrubs that grow in coastal saline or brackish water; they are a refuge for animals of all kinds and also help prevent erosion as well as cleaning the water. - - - - - - #wildlifewednesday #wildlife #floridawildlife #floridabird #floridabirds #floridabirding #floridaphotographer #florida #tricoloredheron #heron #lakeapopka #lakeapopkawildlifedrive #bird #birdphotography #birdphoto #birdphotos #birding #birdingphotography #nikon #nikonphotography #nikonphoto #nikond500 #sigma #nikkor

📸Tricolored Heron Happy #WildlifeWednesday!! This one’s devoted to one of my favorite birds, the tricolored heron. These little guys and gals are so beautiful and so silly. Any heron/stork who hunts by dancing around in the water to confuse the fish is a winner in my book. 🐟 Tricolored herons are a smaller and more solitary heron found in coastal parts of the Americas as far north as New England and as far south as northern coastal stretches of Brazil. On the northwestern shore, their range goes from Peru up to California. 🐟They eat predominantly small fish (but also small lizards, frogs, tadpoles, etc.). Similar to the reddish egret, they will hunt by running through shallow water with their wings flapping and necks bent at a crooked angle. They love to get the minnows rushing around via confusion, then they raise their wings to create a shadow that the minnows think will offer them reprieve from the weirdo running around chasing them. 🐟In Florida, the tricolored heron is considered endangered by our local F&W because local populations have dwindled. This is due to development, algae blooms, and pollution of the freshwater wetlands where they will fish for their dinner. - - - - - - - #wildlifewednesday #wildlife #floridawildlife #floridabird #floridabirds #floridabirding #floridaphotographer #florida #tricoloredheron #heron #lakeapopka #lakeapopkawildlifedrive #bird #birdphotography #birdphoto #birdphotos #birding #birdingphotography #nikon #nikonphotography #nikonphoto #nikond500 #sigma #nikkor

The word anhinga comes from a’ñinga in the Brazilian Tupi language and means “devil bird” or “snake bird”. They are mainly found in warmer climates and swamplands.

Happy National Audubon Day! 🦆🦅🦤🦜🦩 I hope you enjoy this crazy osprey! Fun fact: ospreys eat almost exclusively fish, which has allowed them to become excellent at fishing. Cool! Another fun fact, on this holiday, not only do we celebrate birds on this day, but we also recognize the work and influence of John James Audubon (what a name). While he was not the most ethical man out there, he did have a knack for birding. Publishing “The Birds of America” in 1827, this was considered one of the finest bird books back then, which included a collection of 435 life-size bird prints. So, you may recognize his last name, Audubon. Well, he did not establish the Audubon Society, but after he died in 1951, the group was formed by George Bird Grinnell (another cool name), who was tutored by Audubon’s widow, Lucy Audubon. The Audubon Society works to preserve bird habitats, conduct research, influence policymakers, and encourage people to protect the natural resources upon which birds depend. There are over 510 chapters, so wherever you are, there is bound to be a chapter near you. @audubonsociety . . . #ospreyphotography #birdphotography #sarasotaaudubon #birdingphotography #sarasotabirds #floridabird #audubonday #nationalaudubonday #ospreys #photography #wildlifephotography #funnywildlife #sarasotaflorida #sarasotaphotographer #sarasotaphotography

On the beach this morning a group of small shorebirds gathered in a tide pool to take a bath! After bathing they would jump frantically and flap their wings to get rid of excess water ... this little Sanderling separated from the bunch to dry off, so I was happy to get a clear shot on the jump up 💦 #shorebirds #bestbirdshots #floridabird #birdwatching #birdphotography #your_best_shots #birdsofinstagram #nuts_about_birds #your_best_birds #naturelovers #nature_brilliance #planetbirds #naturephotography #natureshots #nature_shooters #wildlife_inspired #nikond850 #naturephotography #best_birds_of_world #eye_spy_birds #best_bird_shots #birds_adored #feather_perfection #wildlifephotography
