Great morning checking birdhouses with @DarrenJDavisGCS at the #oldefloridagolfclub. Fun finding this Eastern Bluebird and Great Blue Heron while on property. @NativeBirdBoxes @AudubonIntl @GCSAA @FGCSA @BirdsofTurf

There is something about opening a birdhouse with expectations of activity, BUT TO FIND FRESH HATCHLINGS IS JUST AMAZING. #nevergetsold @NativeBirdBoxes @FGCSA @BirdsofTurf

Thought we might have been late putting up our purple martin house. Saw them back today. @BirdsofTurf #golfcoursewildlife

Saw our heron this evening. Lucy ignored it early on. Horton Smith Golf Course @DogsOfTurf @BirdsofTurf #golfcoursewildlife

Thanks to my new phone camera I was able to get some good pictures. Although he did let me get with about 10-15’ when I made my pass on the greens mower. @BirdsofTurf #golfcoursewildlife

@DarrenJDavisGCS @GCSAA @AudubonIntl @NativeBirdBoxes Congratulations from all of us to you and your new brood, Ginger! ❤️

@3sticksCGCS Amazing job, Mr Waldron! 💪❤️🐣🏡

@huskercspackler @BirdWatchDaily @CONativeBird @ABCbirds Thank you for the follow-up! It was on our minds for quite a bit! 🥰❤️🐥

[BirdsofTurf @BirdsofTurf]

@huskercspackler @BirdWatchDaily @CONativeBird @ABCbirds Hmmm, so we really thought it was a crossbill (because we saw a crossed bill😅), but when we enlarged the photo to see the white mark, we realized that might have been a corner of a seed on the ground. 🤔
We will have to put our heads for a bit longer. 🐥

[BirdsofTurf @BirdsofTurf]

@huskercspackler @BirdWatchDaily @CONativeBird @ABCbirds Yes, perhaps a bit like this young lady?

[BirdsofTurf @BirdsofTurf]

A staple bird of turf and a VERY different kind of #BirdsOfTurf !

[Native Bird Boxes @NativeBirdBoxes]

A great way to start the day birding with @StephenTucker7 at @FourSeasons @FSOrlando Eastern Bluebird posing then shared she had 4 eggs to the Flying Squirrel colonies! @GCSAA @FGCSA @BirdsofTurf @FloridaTGA #orlando #orlandogolf #golfcourse

@ATGCSuper @ArroyoTrabuco We cannot stress this enough: FREE CHILD LABOR. Wait, no, sorry, we mean, HANDS-ON STEM EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY! 💪💪💪

(Or someone’s got to teach the rest of the raptors about the HOA)

[BirdsofTurf @BirdsofTurf]

@ATGCSuper @ArroyoTrabuco Great horned owls doing their thing stealing nests 😅
(That’s why @BethpageGolf @Greensideup17 and his team put up human-made nests for these bandits so they leave the red-tails alone. Only minimum child labor needed)

[BirdsofTurf @BirdsofTurf]

@NativeBirdBoxes Is that spring we hear?
Welcome back, Swallow-tailed Kite❤️
