Well, after April told me that the folks at Ashland Nature Center were interested in seeing pictures from our Florida honeymoon, I'm skipping ahead a bit to highlight the birds and butterflies of the sunny state. Early in our trip we visited the Disney Wildlife Preserve, which is on the outskirts of Orlando. Near the entrance, a Red-Shouldered Hawk sat on a fencepost, almost posing for the camera (and this wouldn't be the last photogenic Red-Shouldered Hawk on the trip).
