Back to Wakodahatchee Wetlands

Always eager to see something new I went back to Wakodahatchee Wetlands hoping to see my first woodstork chicks. And I did!  I also saw tricolored herons sitting so close to the boardwalk I could look into their nests and count the eggs (all four!).  The great egret also had a second egg. The great blue herons were busy catching fish for their chicks.  As another treat I saw TWO American bitterns (who have some of the best camouflage in the bird world), a limpkin, a marsh rabbit (in the marsh), a sora, black-necked stilts, alligators, a snake, and so much more. Here are some of my favorite pictures...
