Giant birds outside my back door! Florida is amazing:)
I’m pretty sure these big babies would have let me pet them, but I have a rule, I do not touch birds that are taller then my first born child.
Actually, I just don’t touch birds, they kinda freak me out! They could peck your eye balls out!
Anyway, anyone know what kind of pretty this is?
Must head back to the pool.
National Geographic Photographer OUT!
Mwah!
I think I just had a high school flashback…I think they are, and don’t hold me to it, some kind of crane. ‘Egret’ was the partial name of my first Fl neighborhood.
Okay, and this time that is all…really.
I think they are egrets. Florida has a whole bunch of different kinds.
I don’t suggest touching them though…I’ll give petting a duck a good college try, but, those beaks look like they could snap a fish in half…trying not to think about how that might work with my hand.
Cara’s right, they’re herons. Not as friendly as they look, good thing you didn’t try to pet one. Unless you like hanging out at the pool with band-aids all over.
There is fabulous wildlife all over the state of Florida. Even monkeys living in the wilds.

one thing i miss about florida is the amazing wildlife…we would get these all the time…and lizards, turtles…i dont miss the red ants though…
They are beautiful but I wouldn’t want to get too close!
Those are BIG birds. Not so keen on those beaks!! But I wish I was on holiday. Have some extra fun for me!!
I have these in my yard all the time….Egrets….there are so many kinds!
Have fun in Florida!

That’s awesome! Pretty birds AND you’re going to the pool?!?! Jealous! 🙂
What are you blogging for girl?! Go and enjoy some sunshine and warm weather for us all!
BTW, loved the photo but I’m with you, since seeing the Hitchcock movie the Birds, I’d stay clear.
What a great pic! I bet that is quite a site to see!
Very cool pics. Have a super time in the sun.
So glad you’re enjoying your vacation!! Yes, we do have a lot of pretty cool looking birds in FL. I get those big birds (white ones mostly) in my front yard. My dog hates them. I’ve tried to tell him to chill out…those birds are bigger than he is!! Have fun 🙂
I’m not sure, but they might me herons. When I lived in the Orlando area they were everywhere.
Have fun on your vacay!
