I have been trying to get out to my spots to do some birding but it is hard as many spots near the lakes are flooded off limits. The government is pumping water out of Lake Paradise to prevent further home and street flooding here. I have been able to get to a few spots to take pictures. Maybe half of the birds are not here - we should be getting migration soon. Have a good day tomorrow! Hope all went fine with your Florida friends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264193705821192168.post-5593108691289066132017-09-20T09:53:00.192-04:002017-09-20T09:53:00.192-04:00These are great shots of the terns.
