Otter At Play


Among all the birds at Ding Darling NWR an otter appeared and the birds scrambled to get out of his way.

More from Ding Darling NWR





Finally got an opportunity to sit down and go through some of the pictures I had taken over the past three days. The Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge is an amazing place to see migratory birds up close. Here are a few more pictures. The top photo is a White Herron in flight taken from an observation tower in the refuge. The next photo is a Tri-Color Herron. The third photo down shows the difference between the American White Pelican (2nd largest bird in North America) and the Brown Pelican. Michelle and I saw American White Pelican last week on Lake Seminole. The biologist thought the pelicans we saw on Seminole might be migrating south. The fourth photo is of Roseate Spoonbills and the bottom photo is a Wood Stork.
