Ding Darling NWR
Well yesterday on the way to Miami from Fort Meyers I stopped at Ding Darling NWR. I had been wanting to go there for a long time each time I have come to Florida, and finally got to. I think it was the wrong time to go, as there wasn’t very much bird activity, but it was still a pretty nice place to go. Did get one surprise there and that was a heron eating a snake of some kind. I’ve seen pictures of that before, but had never witnessed it before yesterday. That made the whole trip there worth it. There were a good number of roseate spoonbills perched in trees as well. Ah well, overall it was a wonderful experience.

Update
Well, have had a slightly busy time so fa. Have been here in Georgia for 12 days now.
On Wednesday June 11th, took a friend’s son fishing at Reed Bingham State Park in Adel, Ga and had a good time even though this fish were not in the mood to bite. Got to see some of the usual suspects. Swallows, Fish Crow, Brown Thrasher and a male Orchard Oriole, which I got video of most the birds and will most likely post them to the website when I return in July. Read the story »

Sea Lions Killed
While it is not really new news, last weekend there were six Sea Lions killed in Oregon. The sad part about these killings is that the six Sea Lions were already captured in cages at the base of the dam where they were shot. I think that this shows how cruel people can be.
