Ask people about Woodpeckers and chances are that they will start about Woody Woodpecker. Woody, obviously, is based on the Pileated Woodpecker. So, when visiting Corkscrew Swamp, I had to look for them. Two years […]

The Sadist Plover
When I see Grey Plovers, I simply have to shoot them. No matter what. Or? While I was shooting Herons in Florida, I noticed a Grey (or Black-bellied) Plover at the beach. As I already […]
Wilson’s Plover
A plover with a long, heavy and thick bill: Wilson’s Plover. Easy to recognise and doable when it comes to photographing it. Not really shy, but a bit alert in my experience. I saw quite […]
Different Sorts of Reddish
The Reddish Egret is a species with the discomforting status of ‘near threatened’ with the IUCN. They can however still be found in Florida, and that’s where I found some of them. Even when not […]
YCNH #1,2 and 3
For some unclear reason I had never seen a Yellow-crowned Night-heron. This year however, I found three, at different locations. The first was a young bird, that I noticed due to some road construction, which […]
Little, Blue and sometimes White
Little Blue Herons are pretty common in Florida, and indeed (sort of) blue. The juvenile birds however are white. But, young or adult: they’re both pretty small, as you can tell from the image where […]

The first time I have seen a Piping Plover was in Florida. The bird was banded, and after some research I found out where it came from and wrote a blog about it. This year, […]
White on White
During my stay in Saint Petersburg (Florida) I had many photo-ops for Snowy Egrets. In the end, I was most happy with the images that I made when the sun had just disappeared behind the […]
Owls @ Sunset
Of course, while in the US, I had to go and look for Burrowing Owls. Over the years my most beloved American species. An easy one this time, since two years ago I had found […]
Rosie Revisited
Last week I spent photographing birds in Florida. Two years ago I visited this birders paradise for the first time, and one of the most memorable encounters was with the Roseate Spoonbill. For me, as […]
Grey Plover
One of those species that can be found around the whole planet: The Grey (or Black-bellied) Plover. Until now, I have seen them only in winter time, both in Europe (The Netherlands and Portugal) and […]
Short-billed Dowitcher ?
During one of the evenings that I spent at the beach to shoot birds in the setting sun light, I encountered this Dowitcher. Since the length of the bills is pretty much overlapping between the […]
