Birding and bird photography on the Atlantic Coast of Florida is spectacular!
In this part 2 of Sparky's Florida Bird Adventure he travels from Jupiter to Miami and inland to find some amazing birds in interesting locations:
Jonathon Dickinson State Park-Florida Scrub Jays, Red-cockaded Woodpeckers, Brown-headed Nuthatches.
J.W. Corbett WMA-Bachman's Sparrow, Swallow-tailed Kite family,
Grassy Waters Preserve-Snail Kite up close!
Sparky also shares his best butterfly and reptile finds of the trip.

Lots of suggestions for a Florida trip when their politics improve. I wish you had enough for a part 3. Great birds and adventures.

Cool Bachman's, and that Snail Kite...so neat! And great lizard photos too, Sparky! Someday I'll reach Florida...have rellies in Jacksonville and Gainesville areas, and met lots of photogs in the bog last winter from Florida.

- Hi Randy! So many cool things to see and photograph in Florida! But like the Sax-Zim Bog in winter, shooting conditions, weatherwise are often tough. Best time to go is April and May for the most rated birds, but winter is great for Herons and Wading birds… If you avoid spring break :-)

My oldest child lives in Palm Beach County, so I love going down and spending a month or so with her and her family around March and April. Been to all the places in your videos and love birding and photographing in Florida. Really enjoy your videos and have been watching the ones on Sax Zim Bog as I'm headed out there this coming June. Hoping to maybe run into you!

Is that a red color band on the red-cockaded woodpecker’s leg?
@doryowen7 ай бұрын
- Hi Dory, Yes! I think most of them are banded as fledglings in the state park. Red-cockaded‘s are probably one of the most monitored species in North America. Thanks for watching!
