We don't have to leave our homes to see beautiful birds here in Florida.
This Juvenile White Ibis has been walking through our yard every day this week.
And yesterday he wandered through the flower garden with a friend. These beautiful flowers are across the street at my sweet neighbors' house. (I came back to add that.) I don't want to take credit for her gorgeous flowers! I have roses blooming in my flower beds but the Ibis in these photos were across the street!
I was hoping they would stay in this area to get more photos of the gorgeous blooms.
We've had a few afternoon showers lately and everything is blooming like crazy.
Oh, a photo bombing Crow! lol
And of course the forest is all atwitter this week too.
I saw this beautiful male Downy Woodpecker on a hike near the Shangri-la trail.
And then on another day I saw a pretty female Downy near the hwy 484 trailhead.
It's been a good week for getting out early and enjoying a hike.
You can see that the female doesn't have a red spot on her head.
But if you need to stay inside one day...look out the window!
I stood in my courtyard here to see what was under the trees in the backyard.
A big Tom Turkey was taking a break and enjoying the cool shade of the oak trees.
Have you seen some birds at your house this week?
Get outside and enjoy nature when you can and look for a shady place to take a break!
