Not all the birds I saw a lot in Florida were "exotic" to me. For example, the herons and egrets I saw there were the same ones I've seen more or less regularly in the northeast.

| Green heron |
 |
| Great egret - this one surprised me by flying out from under my feet as I walked on a boardwalk |
 |
| Great blue heron - this one looked pretty rough - but was standing hopefully near a fisherman |
 |
| Another great egret perched - slightly surprisingly - in a tree |
 |
| Great and snowy egrets |
At some point I realized that I was basically tripping over these egrets as they hoped for an easy dinner from the fishing boats - the same birds I'm delighted to see with a long lens in the distance at Scarborough Marsh or elsewhere nearer to home.
The great egrets were getting quite feisty with each other at times - and making beautiful shapes in the process:
