Lovely Limpkins...Howdee all,
Just loving it here in the warm....don't mean to rub it in to you all in the cold..wish you could all be here! I know some of you love that cold...that is cool..i mean cold..tee hee.
I love some cold...some snow ..love sitting cozied up to a warm fire and looking at the beautiful white stuff....love throwing a snowball or two...and a white Christmas isn't so bad either....and then thats enough..never thought I would say this...being a New Englander...but here I am saying it.
So, I am enjoying the warm and wishing all of you... who had enough cold...could be here enjoying it with me...
Anyway.......... did i say Birds...yes there are birds birds and more birds.
But.... I needed some exercise after all the Holiday pigging out. Jeff and I decided to go for a hour fast walk yesterday ..and being our first day we thought what the heck lets bring the binos.
MISTAKE!!
Do not go for an exercise walk with binos. We thought we would just stop for the birds we haven't seen before...well you know how that goes...we were stopping allot. I mean how can you not... with all those Birdies around ...and we haven't seen them for a year!
And we needed to see what they were eating...and how lovely the colors are and how strange their bills are ...and....well you get the picture...
Not much exercise but some nice birding.
Today I went for a walk ...sans binos...I did my fast "walk by birding" and enjoyed both exercise and watching the Birdies...and ok ...I stopped just a few times...
Had to look at that Monk parakeet nest again...oh and stopped to take a picture of a group of White Ibis..
and well...the Great tailed grackle was showing off to his mate and I needed a video of that.
LOL...
Don't go exercising with a CAMERA..
.(oh by the way my camera is working again) I should still get a better one for better quality photos.
Anywayssss
I did get a fairly decent hour walk in...better than the bino walk....
So here are a few pics and video clips from Yesterday and Today
Eurasian collared dove(not the best picture...but notice the black back of neck)
some interesting lizard...any body know what kind??
and this is a video of a Limpkin and Moorhen...
Thanks to all of you for all the camera info..I will check out the ones you all suggested and might invest in one when I get frustrated enough with the quality of my photos.
I will be taking a digiscoping class at the Space Coast Birding festival...so who knows maybe that will help with my settings etc.
Ok I am off for a bike ride...with Binos and Camera
