Views From The North Sebastian Conservation Area.

This female red-bellied woodpecker has been a constant fixture at the bird buddy lately. She’s got a distinct set of growths on her toes that make her identifiable. They appear to not be hindering her life because she’s been around so often, but a first for me to see something like this on a bird at a feeder.

A curious new backyard visitor said hello today.

Even more friendly scrub jays! 1/16/23 at the Cruickshank Sanctuary in Rockledge, FL. The birds would wait until you’d stood still a moment and then happily land on your head until they were ready to move on. Such a cool experience.

In an incredible turn of events, the bird buddy captured two birds at two different feeders! The male cardinal giving a knowing look to the camera while the blue jay eats in the background is pure gold! The video also shows the blue jay coming back for more snacks after the cardinal leaves.

An incredible sighting: a crested caracara vying for roadkill with a few black vultures, alongside Roseland Road in Sebastian.

This was my first time seeing the caracara and since it was just on the side of the road, we did a u-turn to come back and get some more drive by photos. Such a cool experience!

Lovely little red bellied woodpecker that stopped by the yard yesterday.

The roundest armadillo! 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!

Strange new bird discovered today at the Erna Nixon Park!
