Limpkin eating a snail on Alligator Alley trail.
This looks like an immature red shouldered hawk.
Immature little blue heron turning blue.
Two of the smaller baby red shouldered hawks.
The older sibling.
My first hawk babies were seen at Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland. A red shouldered hawk couple had built a nest behind the barred owl's nest. The barred owl babies had flown the coupe when I got there but a nice surprise was behind the nest. I could hear the baby hawks screaming. The birds were very far away across a river so the above pictures are highly cropped. Things are starting to slow down at the reserve. It's getting hot there and all of the migrate birds are almost gone or will be gone soon. All of the babies are growing up fast. I'm going to try and head out there one more time before the summer heat sets in. Then it's more trips to the coast where at least you get a sea breeze.

ReplyDeleteWonderful shots Dina. It's hard to believe things are slowing down bird wise when you post an awesome set like this. Yep, your babies are growing up a little for sure. Your previous post with the cranes is a stellar look at these wonderful birds too!
