Winter Birding in the Sunshine State

We have been here for a few days but this is the first chance I've had to post anything.  We are spending the first five nights in Orlando and driving to and from specific areas of interest.  We are guided by Florida birding legend, guru and mutt magnet Lionel Godwit.  The vast number of species we are seeing are sometimes hard to keep track of so I'm just going to list some photos of the birds I have managed to get photos of to date.  I'll post a full species list at the end of the holiday.

PS  These photos don't seem to look very good when posted online but seem the look find when on the iPad.  I'll upload them again when I get home if need be.
