This is a previous
subject (study)
I have saved
from another area
(Florida)
that I haven't
yet shared.
I nick-named
this ol' fella'
'Mr. FuddyDuddle'
because I thought
that he had obvious
character and charm.
Well- he charmed me!

Mr. FuddyDuddle is gorgeous! Is he a white heron? I've never seen one before!
ReplyDeleteTalon~ I thought he was a white heron but his head/face looks part vulture...! Maybe he was just a very old black and white heron! Anyway, he looked so cool standing there and even better in a photo!This was one of my favorite spots for water and for bird watching! A very tranquil place without much happening except the wildlife!
ReplyDeleteWhat part of Florida? My sister lives in the panhandle - so I know that general area the most.
ReplyDeleteI like Mr. FuddyDuddle - what a good poser!
Sarasota; Longboat Key area. The photo was taken right near Mote Marine.
ReplyDeleteI think he might be the very large wood stork although yours doesn't look quite like the one I saw. I posted a couple photos (almost at the end of this post):
