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.
