Photo of the Week: Canaveral National Seashore

We caught sight of this Reddish Egret while we were birding last week at Canaveral National Seashore, a barrier island near Kennedy Space Center on Florida’s east coast.

It was a beautiful afternoon for birdwatching, as we managed to see a Royal Tern, Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, Belted Kingfisher, Osprey, Canvasback, Pied-billed Grebe, Anhinga, Little Blue Heron, Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Snowy Egret, White Ibis, Roseate Spoonbill, American Coot as well as an armadillo that crossed in front of us on the seashore road.
