Central Florida has seasons like the rest of the country. Winter gives us lower humidity and temperatures, sometimes temperatures far too low for the many people who come here to escape the snow and freezing north of here. Winter gives way to Spring, with temperatures and humidity rising. Both seasons are generally dry, sometimes drought conditions dry but definitely drier than summer. This year winter tended toward a much wetter pattern, as last winter, but recently we definitely see the ponds and wetlands drying up.
A pond where we usually see many wading birds didn't have many, until we walked around and found where most of the water, and guessing by the population, most of the fish, still existed.
I took many shots of this scene. Some included all the birds, at least five species and numerous individuals of each one, and some concentrating on only a few. Reviewing them all, this one best captures the event. Three different species, all looking for food.
