Such a feat of birds, E!
Lovely pics.
Have a nice weekend.
Very nice photos!
I can't wait until Spring comes to go into the polder and take pictures!
Wishing you a blessed weekend!

Whoa! That gator was a surprise!!! Joyful weekend to you. YAM xx
These are beautiful feathered critters. I wouldn't want to come anywhere near that big alligator!
Hello Eileen,
I like very much the White Egret and White Ibis. The Alligator looks terrifying.
Have a nice weekend!
What a wonderful collection of birds to feast our eyes on today. Thanks Eileen and also for hosting. I hope you have a lovely weekend.
lovely species all of them. I wish we had the bluebird over here it is so sweet. We sometims have moorhens but they are rare. And of course, grebes and ibis is always a treat.
Nice to see your collection :) Have a nice week :)
Love the bluebirds and the grebes. Like you, I cannot get myself to call them Common Gallinules. The experts say we do not have moors in North America, but what is a rose by any other name? gallinule means "chicken-like," but moor describes its habitat. Besides, the Purple Gallinule is far too colorful to share its name with the somber moorhen.
Thank you for these wonderful bird photos, it's wonderful there!
have nice weekend, Elke
The Bluebirds in particular are very pretty.
Thanks for this nice series of feathered friends...
Happy weekend to you!
Tudo lindo,adorei! 👏👏😘chica
Hello. Wonderful collection of birds (and one big alligator). The Eastern bluebirds look so beautiful. Have a great weekend!
A beautiful series of birds. I like how the birds don't seem intimidated by the huge alligator.
Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for hosting.
I wonder how causal and secure these birds are sharing close space with alligator. Lovely birds captured. Have a pleasant weekend
...once again Eileen you have such a wonderful collection of feathered friends, thank you!
The bluebirds are the birds I’d love to see.
You always have such a great selection! Thanks for hosting. Happy birding to you!
Always ❤️
Lots of great aquatic birds! Florida would be a place to go this time of year.
You have such a huge diversity of herons and egrets Eileen. It must be all that water. That's some alligator too, so take care where you're birding.
I have lost track of how many times they have changed back and forth between Moorhen and Gallinule! Nice selection, Eileen, and as Jenn says above thanks for hosting this weekly meme.
Wonderful shots, as usual, Eileen!
Love the pair of grebes the best!
PS: Thanks for hosting, Eileen.
That's a BIG gator! Love seeing the variety of birds you saw. It's fun to try to get photos too! We live in a beautiful country! Enjoy your weekend!
Is it just me or do Great Blue Herons strike a give 'em the cold-shoulder pose for viewers. Love it.
That alligator though. Yikes.
Have a great Saturday!
I would love to see such a group of bluebirds, Eileen!
WoW!!! this is a great spot for both big birds and song birds!!! the bluebirds and the ibis are incredible....i am not so sure about the alligator!!
have a happy weekend, the weather is suppose to be very warm. many thanks for hosting!!!!
Beautiful images here today as always. You must be so patient in the field!
Good thing they can take flight, should Mr. Gator become interested! Happy weekend!
Lots of great birds, but I love your last shot of the alligator.
Hi Phil, believe me I check out the trail ahead for the gators. If there is one just off the trail, I would not go any further. Thanks for the comment, enjoy your day!
Hi David, the Moorhen/Gallinule name change can be confusing. Thanks for the comment and visit. Have a great weekend.
I agree with Linda W :)

On one of our trips to Key West I remember being thrilled to catch a glimpse of the white egrets along the journey. One of the places we stayed had a friendly crocodile that would walk about the grounds. That was not as thrilling(well in a different way!) but I got used to it. So happy to view your photos, Thanks!
Fabulous photos, well done. Cheers Diane
Very nice ! I love the alligator !
Beautiful images Eileen, I love the Herons and Ibis, fantastic.
Nice collection of critters. So many bluebirds!! The alligator looks peaceful there sleeping in the sun.
Those Pied Billed Grebes look so cute - can't say the same about the alligator!
Enjoy your weekend.
All the best Jan
Wonderful photos of such a great variety of birds! Happy weekend to you!
Hi Eileen, Another great Saturday's Critters here. Your bird photos are great and I love the way you take us along on your trips to places like Pinckney Island NWR. Thanks so much for sharing and have a happy weekend and week ahead! John
Thanks for sharing this journey!
So many wonderful bird photos Eileen. Happy birding :-)
Thanks for sharing with us at I'd Rather B Birdin' this week!!
Hi Eileen!
Som alltid underbara bilder av fåglarna, vilken variation och rikedom naturen bjuder på. Har aldrig sett en alligator livs levande, tror inte jag skulle vilja det heller, min respekt för det stora och snabba djuret är alltför stor. För det mesta önskar jag en större variation i vår skandinaviska natur men alligatorer kan jag nog leva utan.
Önskar dig allt gott!
Florida is such a great place to see critters!

More lovely birds I know you enjoyed seeing all of them. The gator is huge!!
Hello Eileen
also many beautiful birds in this post. The herons are amazing to see and certainly the little egret. I also see a lot of beautiful klien vogles and even the white ibis. Scared to see a crocodile right there !!!!!
Greetings, Helma
The gator is a formidable sight.
A treasure chest of birds...so beautiful. And all those bluebirds!
