		<description><![CDATA[This spring migration has been light in terms of species calling my property their home. It could be in part because of the hours I am keeping at work and the lack of food in the feeders . One species that seems to call our woods home year round is the White Breasted Nuthatch.

It is the first of the species to head north in the spring and one of the very first species of any bird to head south in the fall. The Blue [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Boat Tailed Grackle is one of those bird species where the female is as beautiful as the male. One of the things I love about photographing birds in Florida is that my hit ratio or &#8220;keepers&#8221; are better because the concentration of birds is higher and they seem to be more habituated to humans [...]]]></description>

(Don&#8217;t know if you can tell from this small image but there is a dragon fly on the alligators nose, also sunning itself ) Here are some facts about the American Alligator: The American Alligator is the largest reptile in North America.

		<description><![CDATA[Which image do you like better? I think I like the first image best as you don&#8217;t often get to see a Green Heron fully extended. Seeing the neck muscles bulging makes the image. What I don&#8217;t like about either of these 2 images is that the branch crosses the birds beak. I takes what [...]]]></description>
