I failed in my revised "bucket list" of new photography challenges while re-visiting some favorite swamps, marshes, rivers, and lakes.

First I wanted to video the song of the black-bellied whistling duck ("what's it whistling?"), but it's dry now and they were not in their usual spot. Then someone gave me a tip about where a rare cuckoo (non-human) was just seen nesting, but no luck.

So...

Bungled in the Jungle.

And just then, this song came on the radio (Sirius Classic Vinyl). Ooooh. Cosmic timing!

And as a consolation prize, I did run into a big pod of white Pelicans (though a bit distant in a cove, at low tide, Sanibel Island).
And some roseate spoonbills, armadillos, cormorants, and close-up Cooper's Hawk.
