This Yellow Crowned Night Heron was photographed in Destin, FL on the south side of Destin Pass. The bird stands about two feet tall and feeds on crabs, fish, snails and bugs. The Yellow Crowned Night Heron is common in the southeast and the eastern seaboard.
I recently shot these two Great Horned Owls at Fort Matanzas near St. Augustine. The male was about 25 yards from the female. The Great Horned Owl is one of North America’s most common and widespread owls.
The first time I heard owls mating was during a duck hunting/camping trip as a teenager nearly thirty years ago in a remote area of Palm Beach County. Myself and a couple of friends had never heard such howls and screeches piercing the quiet, cold December air. We thought someone was being killed in a satanic ritual. We slept with one eye open and our hands on our shotguns. The next day we were told they were owls mating.

Florida thunderstorms can pop-up quickly as this storm did on Cocoa Beach. The light show can be great as long as you’re in a safe place.
Florida’s largest metro area Jacksonville is not what most people think of as tourist destination. However the waterfront downtown area, Jacksonville Landings shopping and entertainment district, is a fantastic place to spend the weekend.
The Bank of America Tower is the tallest building in Downtown Jacksonville. Also pictured is Riverwatch at City Centre, between the BofA Tower and Jacksonville Landings.
