Some Birds around Lake Okeechobee


Hi Everyone, I love bird watching around the shore of Lake Okeechobee. It is so peaceful and one is certain to see a variety within just a few feet of each other! The Blue Heron above is a favorite. It is fun to watch him slowly spot fish and as quick as a flash, dip that long neck into the water and come up with a fish

Along the sandy beach, one sees terns and seagulls galore.

To tell you the truth, I am not sure what these fat birds are. I took this photo from the car and only got this back view.

This fellow is cocking his head to one side, as if to question just what I am doing!
This is a Great White Heron in the foreground and a little coot back in the water.Is that a big Gator in the distance? Not really, but they are often spotted in this big lake. Hope you liked this little tour! Have a great weekend.

    The "fat" birds look like Moorhens to me. We get lots of Moorhens and Coots on Fleet Pond. You can easily tell them apart because the Coot has a white patch on its head, and the Moorhen has red.

    You've captured some great photos! Bird watching is a popular hobby in the UK.
