I flew south for a few days to escape the snow and the frigid temperatures and to visit with my Dad. Despite turning eighty last month and dealing with bouts of chemo-induced exhaustion, he insisted on scouting out some local venues for bird-watching during my visit. I do my best to try to identify the birds I see, but I need help with some of them…
Snowy Egret
Little Blue Heron
White Ibis
Plover

Signs of spring for the winter-weary, indeed!
I had 3 sunny days in the high 70s while I was there…definitely made me long for spring!
