Dirtballin’

August 27, 2018December 23, 2019 Jill Wussow Leave a comment

How embarrassing. I am still here, sort of. Been out at a really remote field site the last couple months and am venturing (somewhat unwillingly and very awkwardly) back into society at the moment. I had my first real shower in two months just yesterday- HA! I’m a huge dirtball and I just don’t care. […]

Central Winds Park, 10/3/2015

October 13, 2015December 23, 2019 Scott Simmons Leave a comment

Yesterday I visited Central Winds Park hoping for migrants. It was kind of a slow morning. The cold front up north should have brought migrants down, but weather patterns seem to have held them from coming down to us. So I had 9 warbler species, none of them worth writing home about. The most unusual […]

Viera Wetlands, 1/18/2014

January 22, 2014December 23, 2019 Scott Simmons 3 Comments

My biggest goal was to see an Ash-throated Flycatcher that’s been seen […]

Loggerhead Shrike Feasts on a Mole Cricket

November 13, 2013December 23, 2019 Scott Simmons 2 Comments

I found several Loggerhead Shrikes on Brumley Road not far from my house. This one had impaled a Mole Cricket on the barbed wire fence. As I drove by it flew up and perched on the fence by the cricket. After a few seconds, it pulled it off the barbed wire, held it for a […]

Loggerhead Shrike

March 24, 2013December 22, 2019 Scott Simmons Leave a comment

The Loggerhead Shrike is perhaps my favorite bird. Not only do they know how to make black, white and gray look quite handsome, but they have a habit of impaling their prey on barbed wire fences and thorns. I see them all over Central Florida, most frequently where there’s a field and a barbed wire […]
