I am now well on my way to getting obsessed with ornithology.
Which Bob is happy about, because I am not collecting birds.
Today was a very good day for the birds.
All dressed up for the holidays at Kanapaha Botanical Gardens, Gainesville, FL
The rest of these photos were taken at Sweetwater Wetlands Park, Gainesville.
Which of these bird names do you think are real and which ones do you think I made up? Which sound like I made them up even though I didn't?
Feel free to provide correct names or better made up ones.
Female Anhinga
Purple Gallinule
American Coot
Common Moorhen
Wood Stork!
Ibis
Yellow Bellied Black Masked
Warbler
Note added 1/6/2020- A made up name. Expert birder, my cousin Robin, correctly identified the above bird:
"..Mystery warbler could be a Palm Warbler. Winter plumage has streaking on sides, yellow under tail, facial markings similar to your photo."
Thanks, Robin! I'm very impressed!
Cormorant
Great Blue Heron
Black Bellied Whistling Ducks
Limpkin!
More Wood Storks
Snowy Egret
Just wanted to see if you were
paying attention
