Florida Bird Photos - Herons, Egrets, Bitterns, Pelicans, Ibises, and Spoonbills

This is part of what is basically a Life List of Florida bird photos. I've separated the birds into groups to make the pages easier to load.

This page started out for Herons and Egrets, along with the Bitterns, which are apparently in the same taxonomic Family, Ardeidae. But then I found out those were in the same Order (Pelecaniformes) with Pelicans (Pelecanidae) and Ibises and Spoonbills (Threskiornithidae), so I figured I might as well put them all together.

If you want to see other kinds of birds, please go to my bird list main page, which has other birds/sub-lists. I may also update this page as I get better photos, or additional variations. (last updated 5/28/17)
