Florida Birds at the Awesome Orlando Wetlands

- We go birding to Orlando Wetlands and check out the awesome birds there. We are doing a 300 Bird Challenge, and we want to see 300 different species of bird before the end of the year. Can we find any new birds as we head towards the end of our Florida birding trip?
NOTE: There is a misidentification of a Purple Gallinule at around 5m 30s - I refer to it at length as a Grey/Gray Headed Swamphen. my bad! Silly mistake. Not sure how I made that error (rushing in the edit) because I love the Purple Gallinule!
Stay tuned to this Florida series to see some of the birds, nature, wildlife and parks the state has to offer.

Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video like always 🐦♥️🤗
Thank you, Miguel 😊
another great video buddy!
Thanks Nige
Great video again. I was fortunate to see a Lipmkin right here in Michigan last year. I heard there was several in different locations and lucky for me it was 20 minute's away. It was hiding in bushes when I first saw it. Then it was scavaging a few yard's away from the porch of the Nature building. I heard and saw a yellow throated Warbler but couldn't take a picture of it do to the tree canopy. One of my favorite places to walk I saw a marsh sparrow,marsh wren, sedge wren and near by I heard 2 Henslow Sparrow's but they didn't wan't their picture taken. I also saw a few day's ago my first ever fish crow.
Swamp sparrow
Thank you Susan. Limpkin in Michigan is pretty special!
Birds not wanting to be on camera. Story of my year lol 😆
Thanks for your videos in Florida. You have been giving me place to go birding. I’m moving to Florida in a few weeks.
Oh nice! Good luck with the move 👍
Nice video, inspiring,thanks for sharing
Thank you! 😊
That grey headed swamp hen is a purple galinule at 5:27
Indeed, a few people have mentioned it. Complete oversight by me, beginners error! Oh well!
I'm staying in an RV park in Summerfield, FL. As long as there is a little water in the water drainage pond, a Little Blue Heron spends a lot of time in the drainage pond stalking bugs. He doesn't seem to mind visiting white Ibis but tries to chase away Snowy Egrets.
Nice! Like having your own pet Little Blue 😁
My favorite bird was the roseate spoonbill. I also recently saw a limpkin at a nearby lake.
It's a pretty cool bird. Thanks Nathan!
Great video as usual! I saw exactly one Limpkin on my recent trip to Florida - at Disney Springs of all places! I previously saw the Limpkin at Wheatley Provincial Park in December.
Very cool to see it in Ontario 👍
Impressed you got great shots of that Marsh Wren. They never seem to come out of the reeds for me!
That's generally our experience, too. There's a couple of spots closer to home where I find they are a little bit more "showy", though!
Hope you make it to 300 but as always, enjoy the journey not the destination, good luck 👍
Thanks Charlie, we're working on keeping that balance. I don't think we would have necessarily had a trip to Florida without the challenge and there might he another trip later this year, so we are definitely trying to make the most of it 😊
Hi. I love your Florida bird videos. We also have Egrets in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR, along with Lesser Egrets, Chinese Egrets, and Great Egrets. They are especially plentiful in Hong Kong’s Mai Po Bird Sanctuary.
I think that is a purple gallunule at 5:30, not a gray-headed swamphen. This looks like an amazing place! Maybe I will visit it someday...
Yes, mentioned elsewhere in the comments. Very poor oversight by me!
Is that not a Purple Gallinule at 5:30, not a Gray Headed Moorhen?
I don't know what a purple gallinule is, but this is Definitely not a gray headed swamphen
That was my first thought also...just saw one in mexico earlier this year....looks like a purple gallinule to me also.
Yes, my oversight, Purple Gallinule
@@traveltounwind3490 I live on the other side of the globe so I did see the gray headed swamphen which is a vagrant to my country, I didn't yet go birding in the new world but I already feel like I know a lot of species from there
I am thinking that could be a purple Gallinule
Yep, my bad. Not sure how I managed that, because Purple is my favourite of the three.
Yes at 5:30 it is a purple gallinule due to the yellow on the beak the grey swamp hen does not have hello and indeed has a grey crown
Wanted to let you know the bird you thought was a swamphen was actually a purple gallinule. Cool native Florida bird, smaller and different face shield than grey headed swamp hen .
Well now I realize other people already commented the same so sorry to bother haha. Great video👍 really cool footage.
Thanks Olivia, glad you liked it. Yep, feel a bit silly about the Gallinule. Pretty basic oversight. I blame myself for rushing the edit! 😊
Congratulations on the Limpkin you know its related to Limp Biscuit right? LOL Its amazing that the Gallinule is a spot on lookalike to the British Moorhen. American Coots are almost exactly the same as British ones except for the small red cob on its head. Spoonbills were beautiful. Lovely video as normal guys. Keep up the great work :)
You may have seen me say this in an early Florida video, but they were the same species up until relatively recently. Thanks again, Marcus 👍
😊💕🌴🦩🌴👍
😆
I'm excited for this one. I went to Orlando but I didn't visit wetlands there because I had most of the waterbirds. I need the land birds.
Nice. Glad you got great views of the Limpkin.
Thanks Cliff
