Photos of various wild birds seen in Florida earlier in April. Alas, I don’t know much about birds, so comments particularly welcome.
Scroll over image for caption or click on any for larger versions (which I strongly recommend).

It’s a start on a Big Year. (See movie of same name with Steve Martin, Owen Wilson, Jack Black). Now you need to figure out their names. Great photos.
