  1. Ministry of Mirror Lake

    Here stands a trio of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks (Dendrocygna autumnalis), captured just days ago at the edge of still water. That same day, I shared a ghostly image—an ethereal glimpse of a passing flock, these very birds in motion. This photo stirs a quiet excitement in me: a new species now joins my growing archive, each image a small ceremony of recognition and inclusion.

    These particular birds look as if they’ve just stepped out of a feathered spotlight—poised like a singing trio ready to belt out doo-wop harmony at any moment. Their stance, their symmetry, their pink-legged charisma—it’s all there, waiting for the downbeat.

    Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story

  3. The Lesser #Yellowlegs spends much of its year on the south coast of North America and almost all of South America.
    However, the #LesserYellowlegs breeds in the Arctic regions of Canada and Alaska.
    Many spend their non-breeding time in #Florida, such as this one at the #Merritt #Island National #Wildlife Refuge.

  6. A chaotic mass of American White #Pelicans swimming in the water at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.
    Their bright white plumage really sets them apart from the common brown pelican.

  9. A group of Roseate Spoonbills flying over the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refugee.
    Their bright #pink feathers make them very clear against the white #clouds and blue #sky.
    #RoseateSpoonbills gain their pink coloration from eating a certain crustacean containing a pigment. Flamingos gain the color from the same process.
