I'm going to describe this past week as 'exciting'!
Eastern Meadowlark
We worked on some projects and when everything came together, we went hiking!
Palm Warbler
Some of the usual tasks went undone but isn't it nice when you have interesting places to go and don't have time to tackle all of the 'ordinary' chores.
(possibly a female Blue Grosbeak)
And that brings me to the bird trees.

We've found over the years of hiking that birds flock together along the trail. All different types of birds and all flitting around from tree to tree in one area!
And right now we are seeing some familiar birds return to Florida.
Palm Warbler
We are also seeing some we are having trouble identifying.
Palm Warbler
They don't always make it easy either! lol
We connect my computer to our big screen TV to view our photos. And then we sit with our collection of bird books but still have trouble making a positive ID on some of them. Especially the Warblers.
Common Yellowthroat
I would love to have a good ID for the Warbler above!
And I have one now! A special thanks to Sandra, Cloudia, David G. and Eileen for the help!
Thanks to my Florida blog friend, Wally for help with the Palm Warblers!
I'm sharing what we saw on just one hike at Halpata Tastanaki Preserve from the Pruitt Trailhead.
We got a quick photo of these Sandhill Cranes at the end of the hike! Do you see them above the tree line?
Have a wonderful weekend!
Get out and have some fun while the weather is nice!
