Sandhill Cranes at a pond on Morse near Live Oak Park
Egrets, Herons, Wood Storks, Sandhill Cranes, Anhingas, Double-crested Cormorants, Seagulls, and Common Coots were all spotted here on Freedom Pointe Lake and Lake Sumter in The Villages, FL this last weekend. What a bunch of wonderful birds to observe!
This area has a lot of ponds, small lakes and medium lakes plus marsh lands so there is a great many spots to observe the wildlife. We get a lot of different species of birds here in the Winter months. Please click on the thumbnail image to see the slightly larger version. Enjoy!

Certainly bird paradise!
Hi Montucky, Yes, something to see almost all the time here. Our local neighborhood lake is ducky right now with Mallards and Whistlers (Seagulls have come in abundant numbers, too). The other small lakes have Pelicans, Cormorants, and a variety of other breeds of ducks. It is a bird paradise! Have a tremendous weekend and Merry Christmas!
You see a wonderful collection and variety of birds. Have a happy day and weekend. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
