Jess My blog started as a daily record of wildlife and plants in my backyard garden, plus snapshots of our cats and Rich's favorite turtles. Then I discovered bird photography, and now the birds outnumber the cats and turtles! Browse the links below to see birds and other critters photographed around Central Florida.
