"Thanks, Jenn. This is the time that the migrants are arriving here, so I'm hoping for some good birding over the next few days. If you ever do get this far north, I would be glad to go birding with you.....come on up! :-)"

Jo Sanzalone commented on SLB's group Florida Birdwatchers"First of all, sorry to hear that you are sick, DaLo. I sure hope you're feeling better real soon.
SLB: I hope Rocky is feeling better today, too.
Wow! What interesting pictures from Jenn and Roberta. That little…"
Jo Sanzalone commented on SLB's group Florida Birdwatchers"Birds are definitely interesting and never cease to amaze and amuse me. The Jays are always in the yard, basically taking over the front yard, while the smaller birds occupy the feeders in the back, although we just hung a feeder in the front…"
Jo Sanzalone commented on SLB's group Florida Birdwatchers"Wow, Roberta, you had a great day at Circle B, and I agree with Jenn....what a beautiful shot of the Roseate Spoonbills. From your count, it doesn't appear that all the birds have left FL and headed north.
Jenn...we keep records here,…"
Jo Sanzalone commented on SLB's group Florida Birdwatchers"Thanks, Jenn....it's nice to be able to post on this site again. Weather here has changed dramatically....nice and warm, for us, around 70 and sunny. What more can we ask?
Thanks also for the nice comments about our website, which…"
Jo Sanzalone commented on SLB's group Florida Birdwatchers"Thanks, DaLo. You're right, we do need another comet. I remember seeing both those two comets in '96/'97....both beautiful night objects. Found these tidbits about Hale-Bobb on the NASA site: "Its absolute…"
Jo Sanzalone commented on SLB's group Florida Birdwatchers"DaLo: Yes, it was nice to hear that your weather was the same as ours, although I'm sure that those temps didn't last long for you. It's overcast and we are barely into the 60s today. :-(
Regarding the…"
Jo Sanzalone commented on SLB's group Florida Birdwatchers"Thanks, the trip went very well, DaLo, and, as usual, you've managed to make me laugh....thanks for that, too. I doubt very much if those pet chickens would ever be "frozen, roasted or in sauce." That woman was very,…"
Jo Sanzalone commented on SLB's group Florida Birdwatchers"Hi to all from Nova Scotia....SLB gave me the okay to post and I thought you would be interested in seeing a couple of pictures that I took while Terry and I were at the Astronomy Village in Chiefland, FL....so these are FL birds after all.....and…"
Jo Sanzalone commented on SLB's group Florida Birdwatchers"Last night in FL for awhile, although after reading the posts on Brdbrain for the fallout of birds there today, I'm tempted to go there tomorrow.....they had an unbelievable number of warbler species....26! Plus, other migrants as well…"
Jo Sanzalone commented on SLB's group Florida Birdwatchers"Finally, a mystery solved! For the past several months, I've heard a bird calling around the yard, but I was never able to locate it. Since I don't bird by sound, I had no idea what bird it was. Frustrating! Well,…"
Jo Sanzalone commented on SLB's group Florida Birdwatchers"Sounds as though you had a very interesting 2-day vacation, Da Lo. I enjoyed reading your posts and the comments you made for your pictures. Great picture of the male Wood Duck....they're gorgeous birds.
Jenn....thank you for the…"
Jo Sanzalone commented on SLB's group Florida Birdwatchers"Here's the picture that Terry took of what we now know is a Cattle Egret in full breeding plumage.....a gorgeous bird!

Jo Sanzalone commented on SLB's group Florida Birdwatchers"DaLo...thanks for the comment on my photos. Those Red-headed WPs were really roughing it up, but a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'm betting on them mating, especially at this time of year. I enjoyed your photos, especially…"
Jo Sanzalone commented on SLB's group Florida Birdwatchers"Just finished processing some of my photos from today and thought this was an interesting shot of those two Red-headed Woodpeckers.....so, were they fighting or mating.....what do you think?
This is the first shot I took.....(both shots are not…"
Jo Sanzalone commented on SLB's group Florida Birdwatchers"DaLo, I would love to send you one of our BBWDs, but doubt that one would separate itself from the rest. From what I've witnessed of these birds that are around the lake on a daily basis, they are never alone. They split off into…"

Murmuration of Tree Swallows
Murmuration…usually defined thusly....“A murmuration occurs when many thousands of starlings flock together in preparation to land and settle for the night.”
Yesterday afternoon, though, I learned that tree swallows also gather like this thanks to a chance encounter with an employee of Hillsborough County. After enjoying the company of a fellow birder, her dog and a friend at my home, I drove with another friend to a reserve about six miles away, because someone had…

Guilt Feelings
We're packing up everything and leaving Nova Scotia tomorrow, heading eventually to our winter home in Florida and I can't help but have guilty feelings. Why? Because we have ten bird feeders hanging off the roof overhang along the back of the house and another six scattered around the front yard, so the birds are well supplied with sunflower, thistle, shelled peanuts and suet, as well as bird baths for drinking and bathing. In addition, on a daily basis, I put out bread, shelled peanuts and… Continue

I found here in Poland such birds in winter coats – we have much snow here as well as great frost :)
Love,

- Welcome. I live a stone's throw from you, in a little town next to St. Petersburg. I suspect we see many of the same "Florida birds."
