A short visit from the crowd favorite: a common grackle!
The friendliest little scrub jay pals!

Great blue heron in Kiwanis Park, Melbourne, FL.
Several blue heron families roost in trees around the park so at dusk you see so many herons flying in for the night, right next to the busy causeway.
The female painted bunting is back today, waiting out the rain on the bird buddy. I’d never seen a painted bunting before yesterday and now we’ve had so many sightings!
Snowy egret striking poses in the Black Point Wildlife Drive on 3/11/23.
A new one for me: a grey catbird peeking out from the mangroves.
Black Point Wildlife Drive, 3/11/23.
Silhouette of a belted kingfisher. We’ve seen the seemingly same female kingfisher several times in the same location along the drive, I love seeing her each time!

A three in one! A female cardinal at the bird buddy, a red bellied woodpecker at the platform feeder behind and then at about 1:15 a little yellow bird flits by the platform feeder but doesn’t stop.
