These first several, we saw in Orlando at Sea World - not in captivity, except the scarlet ibis, but just hanging around stealing fish and being cute.
white ibis

scarlet ibis

snowy egret (check the feet!)


wood stork

great egret (right)

I took this one at Busch Gardens in St. Pete.
great blue heron

And the rest are from Fort Myers Beach. I took this one from the pier and couldn't decide: cormorant or anhinga?


plovers and sandpipers (probably!)

wee whatevers (I love these guys!) Every time we went to the beach, which was like four or five times a day, there were crowds of all these guys.

plus gulls

We also saw assorted gulls and terns, black skimmers (!!) - those were more skittish, less photo-able - brown pelicans, of course, and also common gallinule.
