BREEDING ANHINGA DRYING ITS WINGS, LOXAHATCHEE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, BOYNTON BEACH, FL
This male Anhinga is in breeding plumage: a bright blue patch of skin surrounds its blood-red eyes and it has developed a mane.
THE TREES, BOARDWALK TRSIL, LOXAHATCHEE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, BOYNTON BEACH, FL
We thought these trees were quite majestic and beautiful as we walked under them on the boardwalk.
FLEDGLING GREAT HORNED OWL SIBLINGS, LOXAHATCHEE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, BOYNTON BEACH, FL
Seeing these two young Great Horned Owl siblings was a great sight. We really enjoyed watching them. It looks like they have or are just about to try their first flight. One of them in the first photo has its eyes closed; possibly its sleeping.
We can ID these owls as Great Horned Owl fledglings mainly by their large eyes and the orange around their eyes.
