The Little Nuthatch
More silly birds.
Birds love to fly away while you are taking a photo of them!
Viera Wetlands.

I hadn't been to Viera Wetlands in a few months so I went to check up on it. There are more birds at Merritt Island this Winter, but I am so excited to visit Viera this Spring! Why? Nestlings!! The Great Blue Heron's are already setting up on the palms and the platform, and there are even more nests than last year... Here are a few more shots from the day: I was amused by the duck and Coots having a tussle over this snack.
"Bee mine."
Happy Valentine's Day!

Friday night we had thunderstorms, followed by an incredibly windy Saturday, and a freezing cold Sunday. One of those days that while cold is bright and sunny and beautiful! A great day to be out. The birds, however, looked like they weren't too happy about the temperature... T he coolest thing I saw was 100 or so American White Pelicans flying over. Seemed like they just kept on coming... such large and graceful birds.
Little painting: Great Blue Heron.
Been doing a lot of little paintings lately. With watercolor it's nice to have multiple paintings going, so when one is drying you have something else to work on. Anyway, this one here is a Great Blue Heron.
