Bird Babies!!

Great Blue Herons nesting at Viera Wetlands


Great White Egret with babies at Gatorland

Catbird at Gatorland, and they really sound like a cat!
The weather was perfect over the Easter weekend. I finally found the time to get back over to Viera hoping I wasn't too late for some herons on the nest. Patience paid off and I caught the mom visiting the nest to feed the youngsters. I also made a trip out to Gatorland for their early entry to the rookery. Again I waited a long time to catch a shot where all of the babies were visible. This one nest was the only one where the vegetation wasn't obscuring views to the birds. I did clone out a fair amount of branches behind the mother bird.
