Florida Top Ten Photos

In the next blog posts, I'll be posting my top ten photos from the Florida trip, along with some descriptions or comments. Here is photo #10:

This is the view from the little cabin where we stayed for a week on Lake Whippoorwill, south of Orlando. Besides the beauty of the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, every morning a host of egrets, ibis, and herons would head north and then at sunset they would all head south again, returning to their roosting area at the south end of the lake. I had done hawk watches and warbler counts before, but never heron counts! There also were hundreds of gulls moving every morning, and I spotted a few Bald Eagles as well.
