Hooded Merganser id is correct. Common Merganser has light gray sides, not dark gray-brown and does not have a prominent crest, like the Hooded. Common Merganser would be considered a very rare bird in Florida.

This bird looks familiar!

Thanks Emily. It was a special moment to watch this coyote hunting in the late afternoon sun.

Thank you Marta.

Thanks Karen. I had to stop and start the car at least a dozen times, before I found a Magpie willing to sit still. It definitely tested my patience!

Ava, I really like the leaf, too. It adds to the charm and innocence of this youngster. I have to admit I am not a fan of the adult raccoons.

thank you Phillip. I'm glad we have a nicer name for them in English.

Thanks Luis

Thanks gatorfellows and RiekoS
