Thank you so much for that! He is definitely a hard worker & super disciplined!! (And he has over a 4.0 GPA too! I'm super proud of him & and his siblings 💕💕💕)
Thank you! You definitely need to check this place out - it's one of my faves! And yes!!!! Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive! That's actually the place that started my obsession with birds and wildlife and photography it holds a special place in my heart!! 💚 (I'm actually planning on a video of it in the next couple of months hopefully 🤞🤞)
I only fo8nd out a few years ago, myself, but they're one of my favorite winter visitors! I was hoping to catch some good video of them doing their little dance, but they wouldn't come out of the vegetation enough!
@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures I think you did great getting them on Camara. I'd love to see their dance. I wonder if there's a way to get them to come out and dance. I know some bird watchers use different types of seeds to get pics of the birds. If it's allowed, you could try something like that
Hi Heather. You are the only RUclipsr I watch that actively looks for predators. Lol. Beautiful rainbow. I really dislike Armadillos. They first off carry nasty diseases, and the little jerks will dig around foundations and your yard. Total nuisance. Sorry the weather wasn't ideal. Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas.
I agree with you about the armadillos. When we moved to middle Tennessee about 18 years ago, the armadillos were just starting to move into the area about 15 miles south of us. We have since moved to FL, but my friend says they are now being invaded on their farm about 8 miles north of where we lived. They cause damage wherever they go.
I know a lot of people aren't fans of armadillos, but I consider them generally harmless - especially since they're so blind and clueless most of the time lol! But I do know they can be very destructive to people's yards, so I totally understand! The weather was definitely crazy, but the bonus rainbows made up for it!! 💚
it's so cool your change your adventure home alone a new travel its like a different travel vibe. The skeeters are out already?? Name that bird. Be/wrong the tv
Back in July, when driving from Missouri to Illinois, we drove through a rainbow. That was the first time that ever happened to me and it was so cool! When you have the National Parks pass, do you still complete a day pass form so they can track visitors?
@@christopherchris1111 my version of snowbirding in Florida is much more literal than most. I go looking for real snowbirds, and not the people version LOL
Spend a calm & relaxing day with me in my version of what it means to snowbird as a native Floridian as I tour Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge with you. After switching the setup in my Dodge Grand Caravan micro camper, I set off in search of a rare bird & tossed some healing time out in nature at one of my favorite Florida gems.

Congrats to your son on the tennis win! It takes a great deal of dedication and discipline to do well at that level.

I haven't been to that one. Must add it to my list! There is a wildlife drive in Apopka, FL that I did go to and greatly enjoyed. TFS!

Hi Heather beautiful scenery and you got some great wildlife shots🤗
🙋♀️🇦🇺
@@ritacolombani714 thank you!!
You capture some of the prettiest shots!
Thank youuuu!!
I see the start of a double rainbow a cloud is on part of it
Yes! It was so cool! Definitely some of the most vivid rainbows I've ever seen! 💚🌈
You caught a lot of beautiful creatures, and I didn't know Snipe was real either until I took a wildlife class

I do love switching up the setup from time to time - it really makes it feel like a whole new space!
@HeathersHikesAndAdVANtures meant to say you are better than tv( ii really should start proof reading my comments)

Very cool!! No, you only need the permit if you don't have the pass, but that would be a good idea!
Snow birding your certainly not old, ha ha, and theres certainly not any snow ha hs ha
