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!

    1. We were just in Florida in December, and I so wanted to see some birds. Of course, none. I went home a sad Canadian.

      I LOVE FLorida. I want to live in Florida. If I say it often enough, do you think it’ll happen??

    2. I am pretty sure they are gray herons.. Great Grannie in law lives in South Tampa and has a couple of fairly tame ones in her yard.
      I would be afraid they’d carry off the kids to the circus like on Dumbo!!! LOL… enjoy your vacay!!

    4. Wow those are gorgeous! I am excited to head south to Florida in a few weeks myself– warmer weather!!!!!!!! (right????)

    11. Don’t know about the birds, but where are you? Not “where are you” as in “I’m stalking you” but what part of Fl? I’m just jealous. I know. So wish I were there now.

      I’m glad you’re sharing. Don’t they say we can live vicariously?

    14. Ha, those are Sand Hill Cranes. The first time I encountered one, I was pretty freaked out too. They HATE dogs, any time they see my golden retriever they take off in the opposite direction.

      If you don’t want them coming around regularly, do not feed them. I had a neighbor who enjoyed their company, everyday at 3 pm I’d hear them squawking at his door.
