I don't know where to start!
Well, I know where to START....
Green Heron
I just don't know where to end!
I hate to leave out the several species of Warblers or the Herons, turtles and alligators, flowers and butterflies but I'll have to save some of those photos for another day.
He put his best foot forward!
Did I mention that the weather is perfect here in Florida right now?
Oh, I did? lol
Cormorant
If I had more time and energy, I would be out on the trails every day.
Oh, I've said that already too!
I do believe this is the most beautiful Great White Egret I've ever seen.
Even the photos taken through the leaves that aren't perfectly sharp look beautiful and dreamy.
It was a perfect day for a special outing and we enjoyed visiting with others that were there enjoying a day at the park!
We had expected some major paving on the trail but they had just patched some areas so that was nice!
Pied Billed Grebe with the catch of the day.
We'll go again soon!
Oh wait....a cute little baby gator!

I don't know that I've ever seen a green heron. Lovely. And your egret photos are beyond lovely-- quite spectacular!
...Diane, I love all of your captures!
The egret looks like she's all dressed up and ready for a night of dinning and dancing, so posh.
Great photos
Happy Hiking!
all these are fine specimens, even the gator. hope the big beautiful fowl no the small handsome gator is waiting!
A fun bounty of birds. Thank you so much! Aloha!
Wonderful pics. I enjoy your walks in the bush :)
Wonderful pics. I enjoy your walks in the bush :)
I dunno, a 'cute' gator!!!
LOvely photos, all.
The White Egret is so pretty. She's such a graceful beauty. And the "catch of the day" photo is delightful. I love your purple flowers on your Header; my favorite color. Spring has surely arrived in your area. It was a sunny day today here too, but Winter may not be over quite yet, we'll see. ; )

Oh, I just read your comment. Yes, those are pink rain boots! My son bought them for me for Christmas, and I knew that I would be needing them this Winter. They really soak up the rain and snow. You can't really tell, but they are sparkly pink. Have a lovely weekend, Diane.
Green heron has nice colourful plumage
I so enjoyed these photos. Especially the ones of the Great White Egret. What a magnificent bird! I don't think I've ever heard of a green heron. Beautiful!
Wonderful pictures!!
I especially like the green heron.
What a great bunch of photos - you had a wonderful outing!
These are all spectacular. I can't even pick a favorite because each one is wonderful. What a joy to get to see these in person. I was looking at that last picture and at first I thought it was just a log and then I finally spotted the eye.
Hello,
I would love to go on this outing. Great sightings of the Green Heron, Egret Cormorant, Grebe and the gator. Awesome photos! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend.
The Green heron is very beautiful, and so is the Great white heron. Beautiful photos!
Oh my what gorgeous captures, they are marvelous views of your surrounding nature and critters!

Many thanks for sharing these fabulous photographs.
I think my favourite is the Green Heron.
Enjoy your weekend.
All the best Jan
The shots of the Green Heron are fabulous. What a day you had!
Great photos!
Impossible to pick a favorite, so I will pick two! Green Heron and Great White Egret
Wow.. amazing bird pictures. I had no idea that is what a green heron looks like. Magnificent. And that last pick got me.. I almost didn't even seen the gator.
Fabulous bird photos. The Great White Egret is beautiful and so too are the dreamy photos.
Gorgeous captures of the Green Heron and the egret!
Beautiful photos! The Great White Egret is stunning, and I love the Green Heron too. Sounds like a perfect spring day at Blue Run Park.
You see some amazing birds. Love the green heron and the gorgeous white egret!
Beautiful series of photos.
The blue heron and the egret are my favorite.
Greetings Irma
Hi Diane, I love the pictures in this post. That last image … with the gator … an award winner for sure! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us! John
The longer feathers on that Great White Egret are very “artsy’! As you said, “beautiful and dreamy.”
And the baby gator! Wow!
Your photos are super sharp - happy to see them and happy for your steady hands :)
Be well!
Your great white egret is indeed beautiful. I love it. I am partial to your green heron as well.
I feel so lucky to see these birds outside my window here in Florida. No gators in our lake this season though.
Wow, the Green Heron is the beautiful, and the was a baby 'gator'. Thanks Diane.
Wow.❤️
Great series of pictures. The Great Egret looks exquisite -ready for courtship days ahead.
Love all the pictures!-- my favorite is the baby alligator! Great hiking weather now!
You can say those happy things over and over and I'd not get tired of them! Love all the pictures and am envious of the pied billed grebe with its catch no less! I have so many pictures of "where the grebe used to be" -- they always seem to dive just as I snap. (Also envious that you have enough pictures from one hike to share on another day, but as long as you share them I won't complain . Thanks!!!
Grandes y bonitos avistamientos. Un abrazo.
Your photos beautifully captured the diversity of Blue Run Park.
The Green Heron is stunning, and I can see why the Great White Egret left such an impression on you.
And that baby gator is just adorable!
Thanks for sharing these delightful moments from your hike.
Makes me wish I could join you on your next outing, Diane.
You see such an interesting array of birds on your trails and you capture great photos of them.
LOVE the dreamy photos of the Egret. They are romantic. I can see them on canvas or in frame on a wall.
Beautiful photography.
And you know I love alligators.

Beautiful photos... I love the dreamy photos of the Egret. I could see them on a canvas or framed hanging on a wall.
Great photography!
And you know I love alligators. :-)
Love those heron pictures!
Beautiful photos. I like the green heron. Have a nice sunday.
The Iridescent Green Beetle is very interesting! I've never seen anything like it. I learn so much from your blog especially the names of so many Florida birds that I see but can't name. Thanks Beautiful pics.
