Loxahatchee Nature Preserve

Went out to Loxahatchee nature preserve in hopes of finding the Great Horned owls that have been sighted there, over and over again. Cindy and I have yet to be so lucky to see one. Not even a screech owl. I was lucky enough to see a Barn owl and photograph him last year. Still hoping and looking for the others, till then we will enjoy the other great birds and doing what we love. Birding and taking pictures...       posted by Lauren

After spending most of the New Year Holiday indoors with an annoying sinus infection and cough the Two Old Birders FINALLY got together do some birding at Green Cay, two Saturdays ago and for sure it was a dark, gloomy, rainy Fl. am but it didn't stop us!!As you will note it did make some of the birds camera shy.                                                                                       Posted by Cindy

Old birder #2 -Cindy- finally getting around to posting my summer trip to Ga.! It was a fun time, saw lots of new thing unfortunately any of them birds... reason being my entire family was there. most were nice enough to want to come along birding with me but every time I would stop with my camera someone would say- " do you see something" and off would go any bird around!! but I love them dearly- and did get some good pictures as you will see
