Cattle Fish Sparrows 
10,000 Birds

When you think of invasives, you think of the birds that have been helped by human beings to get where they are, such as House Sparrow or European Starling. I’d like to introduce you to a diminutive heron, the Cattle Egret Bubuclus ibis. Cattle Egret has been introduced by humans to Hawaii and the Seychelles.

Fishing with explosives has been explicitly forbidden as a helpful sign informed. The bird hovered, plunged and caught a large fish. We spotted a Black-throated Sparrow … … and then our guides heard Cassin’s Sparrow calling. Our destination: four inland reservoirs and the surrounding scrubland. We stopped.

In an unhurried half-day of birding, we racked up over 90 species, including killers like Denham’s Bustard , Northern Carmine-throated Bee-eater , and Shelley’s Rufous Sparrow. Mind boggling, I answer! Beaudouin’s Snake-Eagle … wow!!

White-crowned Sparrow. The road was lined with scrub and short trees, and I spotted not one but two new sparrow species. White-crowned Sparrows are possible winter sightings where I live in North Carolina, but not at all common, while Savannah Sparrows has been one of my nemesis birds for quite some time.

A vast congregation of Bald Eagles kept watch over a herd of cattle about to calve, up to seven in a single tree — no doubt awaiting delicious placentas. Images courtesy of the US Fish and Wildlife Service. A second Prairie Falcon just up the road – this one a young male – gave even better, closer looks.

Wild birds other than the usual sparrows, starlings, and pigeons find better places to be far from the tourist traps of this well-traveled city. I obviously didn’t anticipate a pelagic vibe, but even fish hatcheries can offer excellent birding. In this, I was absolutely wrong. Orlando, Florida is an ecological blight.
