Bird Sightings on the Withlacoochee Bay Trail

 
As we walked on the Withlacoochee Bay Trail we were snapping our necks side to side and up and down.


There were SO many birds to see!


We didn't get good photos of them all but at least we could make an ID and write a list when we got home.


The very first bird we saw was an American Bald Eagle.


We photographed another one at the end of the trail so it was quite exciting.


Lots of Cormorants flying low just above the canal and others high in the sky.


Cormorant on sand bar


Osprey


Anhinga

And then there are those we don't see here in the forest.


American Oystercatcher


Hooded Merganser


White Pelican


American Oystercatcher and Ring-billed Gull

A few comical critters too. The Brown Pelican.


I caught a fish THIS BIG!


Oh, and I have him in my pouch to snack on later! lol


I hope you've had a chance to get out in nature! 

Wish you could all join me for a hike this week!
