Camera Critters - Birds of Bok Tower

It's the weekend of the Great Backyard Bird Count and I am trying to participate. I say "trying" because when I sat down to start my 15-minute block yesterday, the birds all suddenly disappeared. I was puzzled for a few minutes--the feeders were full, the hawks were not around. Then I saw a bit of movement in the open field as the neighbor's cat was slinking along. One of the birds must have seen her and sounded a warning. Anyway, I'm hoping to have better counting today.

My photos today are from Bok Tower, a garden sanctuary in central Florida. The kids and I went with a friend last Monday and had a wonderful day walking and enjoying the surroundings.
