I live in Florida, and the pond across from my house gets DAILY visits from Egrets, Ibises, Herons, Anhingas, Hawks, Eagles, Sand Hill Cranes, and more. Literally every day. I might see an Eagle about once a week, but all the others are daily.

The other day I watched a hawk circle the pond several times, them dive into the water with a big splash. Alas, he came up empty-handed.

I also just found out that Sand Hill Cranes are the oldest known bird species, so George & Martha, the Sand Hill couple that sleep across the street from me for the last several years, are officially my favorite bird species.
