Curtain Call at Dusk (Gators & Birds)

I finally got a chance to see & post this:
A who's who of favorite birds.

Dense packed 76 seconds - with sights & sounds of nature

Can you name the birds here? They're listed in the description, too, in order of appearance. +/-

Black-necked stilts, a roseate spoonbill, limpkin, snowy egret & tri-colored heron is what I recall...

Summer is the perfect time to hit Myakka State Park early in the morning...I hope the boardwalk for bird watching is fixed since Milton destroyed it last year!

Here is the only native (North) American stork, the Wood Stork.

Southwest Florida, Gulf Coast… day before Thanksgiving, and likely thankful not to be a turkey.

A recent trip to the park where I spotted some thistle. I took a few quick snaps. When I got home and looked closer, there were eyes staring back at me. :)
