We completed our overnight run from Daytona Beach to Charlotte to see the dentist this week despite what some folks considered to be a big snowstorm. Having grown up in the snow belts of northern Pennsylvania, until the snowfall registers at least a foot, the precipitation is considered nothing more than a heavy winter dew.
Back in Florida, I hit several central Florida swamps. The Roseate Spoonbills are nesting now.
Wood Storks are also busy scoping out prime nesting sites.
And, I finally managed to photograph the timid Sedge Wren. Getting these small wrens out of thick vegetation for a portrait is not easy. I played cat and mouse with this one for about 20 minutes before capturing this sequence.
Meanwhile, back in Key West, the man cubs are learning how to make an entrance.
