The Little Nuthatch — eastern phoebe
Morning at Gold Head Branch SP.

A couple weeks ago I spent a lovely weekend at a cabin at Gold Head Branch State Park in Keystone Heights, FL. It was the perfect weekend- in the 60s during the day, 30s at night, and sunny. My favorite part about staying in a cabin or camping is waking up at dawn when the birds are just starting to sing and going for a walk. Absolute peace, quiet, and beauty. Do you see the silhouette of the deer in the foggy distance?

The Hooded Mergansers are awesome!

Not to be too sad though, instead I will be enjoying the beach and the birds back home in Florida. Yep, there's beauty everywhere! That is an Eastern Phoebe I caught down by the river. Not too many birds down there, but there were some ducks on the river bank. I was trying to inch closer and they left in a rush as soon as they...
