    WOW Nancy what fabulous pictures.....that kingfisher and the stork and the spoonbills. Great job! What a day you had!

    I "think" #5 is a common Gallinule. They are year round in Florida. #13 might be a yellow crowned night heron. He's definitely some kind of heron. Can't help you with the others but would love to know what they are ultimately.

    Most folks write "wish you were here" but I'm sayin' "wish I was there".

    We are not any good with the bird names either, but we really enjoy seeing them along with the rest of the wildlife. Thanks for sharing these very nice pictures.
