My World Tuesday Issue IX GMT



Go visit the MyWorld site to see more of the world – or even to participate!

Florida is aside from all the other things known about it also a birders paradise. In Winter and early spring many birds from
up north seek shelter from the cold here and they come in droves – not only to overwinter, but many also to do something about their offsprings. Hmm. Making them! ;) Here’s a scenery of one of the places where they congregate at sunset.

    Absolutely beautiful picture. The birds look like GB Herons. We still have a couple of herons hanging around our frozen rivers. They must be crazy, but so must I for staying in the north!

    @Ruth: Hi Ruth,
    Thank you for your comment. Actually all the birds you see in the picture are American White Ibis. :)
    Great Blue Heron do not migrate all that much. They are pretty content with whereever they are as long
    they find food and water.
