The Birds of Celery Fields

I’m working on a newspaper article about the Sarasota Audubon Society building a nature center out at Celery Fields.  During our interview, the president of Sarasota Audubon kindly offered me some photos.  Knowing the paper already has images of the trails and boardwalk on file, I asked for some wildlife pictures instead – birds in particular because they are the main attraction.

The pictures were so incredibly amazing that I then had to ask photographer Rick Greenspun to allow me to post them here too, and he was nice enough to oblige.  As a member of the Sarasota Audubon Society, Greenspun generously volunteers his time and photos to the organization.  Please, go see more of his work at www.SarasotaBirdingGuide.com.  It’s a wonderful site and my new local reference for birding – bookmarked!
