When I was vacationing on Sanibel Island, Florida, the gardener at the hotel noticed me taking macro shots of the flowers and led me to the bird of paradise that was blooming in a hidden spot. He was so kind, cutting away excess foliage that was blocking the flowers and making sure I’d get clean, clear access to the blossoms. I’d like to dedicate this image to all people who treat strangers like me with kindness and concern. Thanks, Mr. Gardener, whoever you are!

Today, 8/21/08, marks the third and most severe day that Orlando is getting pounded with rain from Tropical Storm Fay. So far …. 24 inches. Umbrellas don’t do much good when 60 mph winds accompany all that water – it’s horizonal. I had my camera out while driving around town this afternoon, and happened to see this woman crossing a busy street in the downpour.

American White Ibis, Eudocimus albus is a species of wading bird of the ibis family Threskiornithidae which occurs from the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States south through most of the New World tropics. It occurs in marshy wetlands and pools near the coast. It also occurs on mowed grass, lawns, and has become common in some city parks, where it can be found feeding alone or with other Ibis. It builds a stick nest in trees, bushes, or over water, and 2 to 5 eggs are typically laid. White ibises are monogamous and colonial, usually nesting in mixed colonies with other wading species. This ibis feeds by probing with its long, downcurved beak. Its diet consists of various fish, frogs and other water creatures, as well as insects and small reptiles. Adults are 65 cm long with a 95 cm wingspan. They have all-white plumage except for black wingtips (visible in flight) and reddish bills and legs. The red bill blends into the face of breeding birds; non-breeding birds show a pink to red face. Juveniles are largely brown with duller bare parts; they are distinguished from the Glossy and White-faced Ibises by white underparts and rumps. Over all both sexes look alike. Like the other species of ibis, the White Ibis flies with neck and legs outstretched, often in long, loose lines. The song of the male is an advertising hunk-hunk-hunk-hunk. The female squeals. When feeding, the birds often give a soft, grunting croo, croo, croo as they forage.

I find this bird to be one of those birds that is a pleasure to watch.. they are usually found alone.. and they must dry their wings , before diving again, due to no oil glands on the wings. Lakes Park. Fort Myers, Florida. Sony DSC H 7 ** / This is a clickable image

Lover’s Key is a small group of mangrove islands located in Lee County between Ft. Myers Beach, Fl, and Bonita Beach. It’s right on the Gulf of Mexico. The islands are collectively known as Lover’s Key State Park (formerly Carl E. Johnson Park). Inland backwaters full of fish, birds, and marine life, separate the islands from each other. Boats with motors are not allowed within the Park, but motorboats are allowed in the Gulf and Bay waters surrounding the Park, and there is a boat ramp within the park. This is to protect the abundant wildlife, which includes -manatees, dolphins, various herons and roseate spoonbills, ospreys, bald eagles, raccoons, rabbits, squirrels, snook, mullet, rays, and a large variety of shellfish. / the driftwood is part of the beauty of the remains from our famous Hurricane Charley sweeping in 2004 ( all of these from this series are straight as is from the camera) a real friend is someone who takes a winter vacation on a sun-drenched beach and does not send a card* —Farmer’s Almanac

A monarch Butterflies are beautiful, flying insects with large scaly wings. Like all insects, they have six jointed legs, 3 body parts, a pair of antennae, compound eyes, and an exoskeleton. The three body parts are the head, thorax (the chest), and abdomen (the tail end). The four wings and the six legs of the butterfly are attached to the thorax. The thorax contains the muscles that make the legs and wings move. Butterfly Estates Gardens at Fort Myers, Florida

as is from the camera burrowing Owl sony cybershot DSC H 7, hand held…... / 1/500s / ISO 100 / Cape Coral Florida Population Current population estimates are not well known but trend data suggests significant declines across their range. Last official estimated place them at less than 10,000 breeding pairs. / Range Burrowing owls are distributed from the Mississippi to the Pacific and from the Canadian prairie provinces into South America. They are also found in Florida and the Caribbean islands. Burrowing owls have disappeared from much of their historic range. / Behavior Unlike other owls, burrowing owls are active during the day, especially in the spring when they gather food for their large broods. This species of owl prefers open areas with low ground cover. They can often be found perching near their burrow on fence posts and trees. Burrowing owls make a tremulous chuckling or chattering call. They also bob their heads to express excitement or distress. Burrowing owls often nest in loose colonies about 100 yards apart. Reproduction / Mating Season Early spring / Gestation 28 days / Clutch size 3-12 eggs / The young owls begin appearing at the burrow’s entrance two weeks after hatching and leave the nest to hunt for insects on their own after about 45 days. The chicks can fly well at 6 weeks old. / Threats The greatest threat to burrowing owls is habitat destruction and degradation caused primarily by land development. Despite their protected status, burrowing owls and their burrows are routinely destroyed during the development process. visit here for “source of info found here Burrowing owls are also threatened by agricultural development, the use of pesticides and efforts to eradicate prairie dogs, which live side by side with burrowing owls, in addition to natural predation by horned owls, hawks, foxes, badgers and even domestic pets. / Legal Status/Protection In the U.S., the burrowing owl is identified as a candidate species by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In several states, they are considered a “species of special concern.” They are “endangered” in Canada. *Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

I hope you see something in this ….. / there is just something about seeing three different birds. in a swamp…....... in the damp moist muggy.. habitat…..... each surviving. each leaving for now to do each do their thing. The wingos the anhinga must be tried. and this ritual of the wings spreading takes sometimes a good ten to fifteen minutes.. The stork eats its food.. the egret is patiently waiting for its next food source. and then watch out. it will spear it with that amazing beak ..
