Growing up in Kentucky it was common to see Robins, Blue Jays, Cardinals, and dozens of other types of birds that I never learned to identify. In Florida, of course, there are many that I still think of as exotic — pelicans, herons, egrets, and others for example. Even though I live near a lake*, this morning was the first time I’ve seen one of these in my front yard.

*It’s pretty hard to live anywhere in Florida that is not near a lake. Every puddle that doesn’t dry up in a week gets a name and has the roads detoured around it.
