[...] our family has been developing a passion for birdwatching. This was sparked on a former trip to Huntley Meadows Park with the Staddon family. So many overlooked miracles transpire daily right in our own backyards. Its little wonder that [...]

Just typed my surname into the computer and your site aroused my curiosity. Good to see my namesakes doing well overseas. Don’t know a great deal about the staddon side of my family, but good to see there’s an abundance of us out there, and red haired too!

That was a fantastic park! I really enjoyed seeing those birds. My favorite was the glossy ibis. Can’t wait to go bird watching with you again!

[...] packed these 5 days from sun rise to sun set with lots of exciting activities. Bird watching was a huge highlight at Huntley Meadows, a near by 1500 acre park! Some went and visited a petting farm, as well as a horse riding [...]

You’r right Donald. The Lord blessed that trip. I was amazed by how many different species of birds flew our way. Since then I have told many how much that trip helped me gain a new appreciation for God’s diverse, unique, and simply beautiful creation. Having only bird watched a little, this was almost a completely new experience. Thank you for taking the time to invest into us. Each one will remember that trip for years to come! I don’t recall seeing the coots James. That was a great shot! My favorite though is probably the Red Winged Blackbird in flight.

Wow!!! James, I marvel at such a thorough post as well as how many “fowls of the air” the Lord brought as we sought! The Glossy Ibis is the same one I mentioned on the post about Mount Vernon. I still remember standing behind some veteran birdwatchers on that day (my 13th birthday) as they identified it with us and commented that they had never seen it actually land in the park. Now we’ve seen the Lord bring it into close range twice in the three trips we’ve made there. What a story. Remember Matthew 6:26!
