Nature Walks – Green Cay & Wakodahatchee Wetlands
It’s March and it’s nesting time for many of the wading birds in SE Florida. Above is a shot of a posturing male Great Egret in breeding plumage and colors.
It was a cool day; most people had sweaters or even coats on, except me. I relish the coolness… upper 50’s, I think. And the sunshine was brilliant making shooting challenging in the low angled sun.

Male Angina drying off after a swim.

Double-crested Cormorant. Notice the difference between the bills of the two swimming birds, Angina (above) and the Cormorant.

These photos are from two separate outings. I did finally see an alligator at Wakodahatchee this morning, cruising from under the boardwalk.
Hope you enjoy the photos!
