~ Migration was in full swing in southern Florida while we were there. A couple of days we saw many of these beautiful birds, busily eating berries and other plants. They never fail to take my breath away.
Gray Kingbird ~ This bird was photographed at Ft. Zachary Taylor State Park on Key West, Florida. This Florida trip provided my first sighting of the Gray Kingbird.
Julia Heliconian Butterfly ~ This female Julia was the most common butterfly I saw in the Everglades and on Key Largo. I had only seen it in special butterfly exhibits before, and it was wonderful seeing them flying wild and free in Florida.
