  • August 29 – BOTD – Brown Pelican

    Here is my entry for Granny Shot It’s  Bird of the Day (BOTD) challenge. My favorite bird! The Brown Pelican captivates us on a regular basis with it’s elegance and free-flowing manner. It’s magical to see these flocks coming from a distance along the shore. With binoculars in hand, we will observe them rise and fall…

  • August 28 – BOTD – Green Heron

    Here is my entry for Granny Shot It’s  Bird of the Day (BOTD) challenge. The Green Heron is a small heron compared to other birds in this family. It is close to the size of an American Crow. They can be elusive, but if you look closely when near a marshy area, you might pick one…

  • August 24 – BOTD – Redhead

    Here is my entry for Granny Shot It’s  Bird of the Day (BOTD) challenge. In a pond full of waterfowl, the Redhead is not hard to spot.

  • August 22 – BOTD – Wood Ducks

    Here is my entry for Granny Shot It’s  Bird of the Day (BOTD) challenge. In Florida, we find that wood ducks are difficult to photograph in the wild as they are usually tucked in the back woods of a creek, river, lake or swamp where they reside. Very rarely do we seen them out in the…
