I’m surrounded by boxes at home for my move and had to get outside for a while. Near a friend’s home here in central Florida, I captured a few bird photos. The birds are used to people and show no fear.
Later there was a beautiful sunset to make a perfect ending of the day.
Happy New Year!

…lovely visitors, capped off by a beautiful sunset.
I would just love to have that bird experience. A brief respite in what I know is an insanely busy time!
Will you still have beautiful sunsets at your new place? I can’t wait for your move Carol. I moved 3 years ago and it was the best thing we did. No steps Wonderful.

I agree – my house has no steps. The condo is on the 2nd floor close to the elevator. Happy New Year!
Beautiful sunset! What’s the name of that bird on the 2nd picture?
Happy New Year to you too, Carol.
I’m not an expert but I think it’s a wood stork. Happy New Year Angie!
Gorgeous skies, and love the way the bird comes right up on your porch! Have a Happy New Year!
Well, that’s something! Not being familiar with birds like that, I’d be a bit frightened! I see turkeys sometimes, but they don’t march right up on my porch!
The birds are used to people feeding them and lose their fear of peopel. He’s looking for a handout. No need to fear.
Beautiful.
Wonderful photos of the unique birds and awesome sunset photos ~ Wow!
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

Another beautiful Florida sunset. You took breaks at just the right time. Hope the rest of your move goes smoothly, and wishing you a Happy New Year. Alana ramblinwitha
Happy New Year Alana!
That is such a beautiful sunset!
They certainly do show no fear! What kind of birds are they? Good luck with your move and wishing you a happy and healthy New Year.
I believe the first photo of white and black birds are ibis. Black ibis are called Glossy Ibis. The second photo I believe is a wood stork. I’m not an expert, but I love seeing what I call water birds with their long legs all over Florida. Thanks for your good wishes and I send you the same wishes. I wish you healthy and happiness in 2024!
Birds and sunsets are a great combo. Best wishes for a Happy New Year and much health, happiness, and harmony as each day unfolds. Nancy Andres @ Colors 4 Health.
Beautiful visitors to your garden and what lovely skies! Just popping in to see how things go with the move and to wish you A Very Happy New Year Carol. Thank you for all the visits and these wonderful posts over the past year.
Thank you for all the smiles I’ve had visiting your blog and seeing your photos. Happy New Year!
Lindas aves. Me encanto la puesta de sol. Te deseo un feliz año. Te mando un beso.
Lovely photos! Wishing you and yours all the best for this new year, dear Carol, hope it’s a good one!

Oh wow; that sunset is incredible! I wish you all the best on your move and hope you have a wonderful new year.
Happy 2024!
Lovely bird photos. Happy New Year.
Happy 2024!
Beautiful photos, although I admit I had an un-romantic thought about bird poop when I saw the big guy on the welcome mat! LOL!
Have a great year ahead! Happy New Year!
Thanks for joining us at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2024/01/chateau-de-thorens-de-sales-family-home.html
The skies are stunning, and it’s so lovely when the birds get close to your porch!
Wishing you a fantastic New Year, Carol!
Congratulations on your move! Ibis visit my Florida garden but not wood storks. I see them in parks though. Wishing you a healthy and happy new year!
Thanks for the good wishes. I wish you the same gift of health and happiness this year.
Bird buddies and a sunset stunner! Perfect escape from packing purgatory. Happy New Year & happy nesting in your new home!
thanks – Happy 2024!
I can’t imagine such birds just coming to your house like they belong there!!
Wishing you a happy and healthy 2024!!
To the blogfriends of My Corner of the World: I wishing you and your family a year filled with health, joy, and moments of happiness.
Happy New Year 2024!
Those birds come right up to the door – they’re bold! Up here in MN we don’t have any cool looking birds like that. For big birds it’s just a bunch of Canada Geese and wild turkeys.
I’ve only encountered a wild turkey once and his feathers were absolutely gorgeous!
So many new birds to me
Happy New year! Beautiful sky and I love the Ibis and the Wood Stork photos. Have a wonderful weekend.
thanks Eileen – happy 2024!
Happy new year! Love to follow you in 2024
I LOVE your post! I love your sunset photos, sunsets are such a wonder! Hope you will come and visit the There’s No Place Like Home Linky party this upcoming Tuesday!
