Florida Birds

While I was in Florida I saw around 12 new birds! I went to this part of Florida while my father was at an art show.

All this was right behind the booth.

This is a limpkin, this one was really neat to study as it broke open shells and ate the snails in them. That was the only place I ever saw them, there where two of them.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

There where two green herons there. One was really small. That one kept coming right up to me. It was so cool the way it just stood there trying to fish. It was having no luck, so I kept on tossing it some bread. It would pick up the bread and just hold it in its mouth. The little green heron never ate the bread, it just held it in its mouth. One time I was watching it trying to fish, and some people where ripping up some kind of a nut. And they where throwing the nuts at the little heron. The heron was stretching its neck out as far as it could go. (The heron was around 9 inches tall and it stretched the neck out around 5 inches.) And then it opened its mouth. it was really scary.

These are some ducks that I could not tell what they are.

later I thought I was so stupid, I learned that it was a hybrid mix mallard mix American black duck hybrid. It was so easy when I realized that they had bluish-greenish heads. I figured it out in New Mexico. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>v

This is what I call "ballerina Moorhen". It is a common Moorhen. I was taking pictures of it when it stretched out its foot and wing.
