On Christmas Day in Florida we visited the local Betty Steflik Memorial Preserve. Another new park, with a nice boardwalk located in right in Flagler Beach. The boardwalk (known as the marsh walk) 1.8 miles round trip with views of the Intracoastal and the mangrove swamp.
Click on the images for a better viewing.
This Great Egret was perched in a mangrove.
Brown Pelicans floating on the intracoastal waterway, GB Heron, Anhinga and a Little Blue Heron.
A few Yellow-rumped Warblers were seen in the trees and bushes next to the boardwalk.
We watched a pair of Belted Kingfishers flying around the waterway and mangroves.
This Great Blue Heron was standing in the exit road, I waited till it moved off before driving on.
Now it's time to see your critters, here is my Linky

Beautiful view of the broadwalk and the swamp. A great reserve for the birds. Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for hosting.
You have spent a nice afternoon, certainly, visiting this preserve.
Thanks for sharing.
Wishing you a lovely weekend full of captures!
These are beautiful bird pictures, wonderful!
Have a Happy weekend, Elke
Hello Eileen,
Beautiful birds, this Great Egret is very is very striking in its white clothing!
Enjoy your weekend! Thank you for hosting!
The heron is my favourite.
Hello Eileen,
These are beautiful photos and collages.
I think the egret, blue heron and the belted kingfisher are really great.
Do you want to place my link, I try every time but it doesn't work.
Best regards, Irma

Mais uma série linda de fotos e gosto muito de ver as cegonhas! beijos, lindo fim de semana! chica
Ch belle che sono queste fotografie.
L'airone bianco in mezzo al verde è meraviglioso.
Hello Eileen,
Beautiful photos and birds. The White Egret is so pretty.
I wish you a nice weekend!
Nice critters, especially the Great Blue! That boardwalk offers such a variety of scenes and habitats. Looks like a great place to visit.
Great boardwalk! Very nice birds, great you got a picture of the Kingfisher...they will never ever hold still for me!
once in a while we have a great blue heron and a white one that come and stand in the yard, they focus like a statue. then suddenly the neck darts down and they come up with a lizard and once a frog. beautiful place to visit
Postcards of Florida birds. And now protections for migratory species have been relaxed......go figure that one.
Beautiful shots of these wonderful birds, Eileen! Have a happy new month!
What a wonderful spot.
I've yet to grab a good photo of a kingfisher. Herons I capture a lot. I've even seen one on the ground like that, too. I love them.
Thanks for hosting.
You can't go wrong with egrets and herons! I haven't been successful with the kingfishers...they've always kept a distance.
another great spot, you always seem to find them. those florida birds are a little more relaxed, more tame around people, i think!! these are all beautiful captures, i really enjoyed seeing the great egret (awesome image) and the great blue heron!! have a wonderful weekend and many thanks for hosting!!!
Great mix of photos.
I can't believe I added my link, then...forgot to leave a comment! So, I hafta say the heron in the roadway is unusual (seen on a road)...it has to be my favorite this time.
A great variety of our feathered friends!
You've visited so many places I would like to go to! We keep going back to our favs but it's fun to travel around FL! Love those little Warblers. Happy weekend!
Great photos, Eileen. I love the Yellow Rumped Warbler and that grand heron.
Have a great weekend!
How sweet of you to wait for Mr Heron!
Hello Eileen. You have yet another wonderful place to bird and walk. You are blessed indeed. Once again your herons steal the show. Thanks for sharing and also for making this link available to everyone, and enjoy the week ahead.
Wonderful to see. I have lots more parks to visit in Florida, perhaps in my next lifetime!

Happy new year, a bit late, Eileen! How wonderful to see those pelicans. Thank you for your kind comment. It's still pretty grey and wintry here most of the time in terms of wildlife encounters, but the garden birds are putting on a good show!
Thank you Carol! I hope you are enjoying your day, happy weekend!
Happy New Year to you Caroline. Thanks for the visit and comment. Happy weekend!
Thank you, E! My critter is a toy. You shared some good shots Today ♥️
You had some good finds here! Don't you adore the herons? My fave! Happy weekend!
What a nice variety of birds! I mostly see seagulls and pigeons around here, and that's about it!
No critters for me this week but I will be back next week, Eileen! The best thing in Florida is the parks and you certainly find some good ones.
Another series of great pictures.
Very nice !
I would love to get one decent shot of a Kingfisher...they are always so skittish! Love the one of the Great Blue Heron just walking along...
Good capture of the Kingfisher!!
Such regal creatures those egrets and herons!
Eileen - I suppose seeing herons there is like seeing eagles here! I am always impressed how many you see! Thanks for hosting!
Kingfishers are special. Always thrilling to see one!
Looks like a nice place to see birds. I love the herons!
lovely photos, specially the great egret
Lovely capture on the natural preserve and birds! Loved how the blue heron walks casual beside the road.
Happy Weekend

Very nice post, Eileen. I have fond memories of visiting St. Pete's Beach and seeing pelicans for the first time in my life. I could watch them for days and it being a vacation, I did watch them quite a lot.
What An Adventure/Outing Here - Such Beautiful Creatures Around Every Turn - Have A Wonderful February
Cheers
Lovely to see more parkland. A pelican would be a rare sight in my neck of the woods!
Thank you Marco! Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week!
Jocelyn, thanks so much for linking up, for the comment and visit. Enjoy your day, wishing you a great week ahead.
Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week! PS, I appreciate your visit and comment.
Thanks so much for linking up this week, I was happy to see our critter post. Enjoy your day, have a great new week!
Good morning Eileen, not too bad it's Sunday as I post this for yesterday but it was a full day out and about on Saturday. Your Kingfisher is just a commanding beauty. Enjoy your weekend!
Hello, you are welcome any time. Thanks so much for linking up and for the comment. Hope your day is great!
Amazing photos! Egrets are impressive birds. I once watched one swallow a fish that I was sure would be much too big for it to consume.
I'm late coming to visit - couldn't connect to the internet 'til now. Thanks for linking in at IRBB thus weekend.
I love the Egret, beautiful.
I'd love to walk here, it looks a very nice place.
I enjoyed your photographs.
All the best Jan
Mais uma série de imagens extraordinária! Adorei ver!...
Por aqui, também de vez em quando se deixam ver as garças brancas, que por aqui, têm o estranho habito de andar empoleiradas em cima das ovelhas que estão a pastar, de uma quinta, que fica nas traseiras da minha casa...
Beijinhos! Feliz semana!
Ana
