Winter Day Bird Watching in Florida When it gets really cold up North, we too, can feel the cold creeping into Florida.  Today is one of those sunny but chilly days that have you bundled up at least as far as Floridians are concerned or that have you just stay indoors eating hot chili and the heat or fire place on. When it comes to birds however, it's a different story.  As I was looking out my window in Hernando Beach for something interesting to see, I noticed this pair of Hooded Merganser ducks happily swimming and diving in the saltwater canal behind the house.  We typically have quite a few of Mallards in Hernando Beach all year round but these ducks looked quite different with their puffy crests and the male's white patches.  Of course, I had to grab the camera and at least try to...

Friday Foto:  Catch of the Day in Hernando Beach, Florida Fishing is a popular pastime in this waterfront community of Hernando Beach, Florida but birding and backyard photography are two more great ways to spend your time and enjoy waterfront living.  Today, this Osprey was successful in his fishing efforts and is enjoying his fresh catch of the day on a light pole. Of course, what was lucky for the Osprey, was not so lucky for the Mullet that became a meal for this skillful bird. Last but not least, I'm considering myself a lucky photographer to be able to take these photos right from the front porch of my Hernando Beach home.    It's my special "catch of the day".         I am a Hernando Beach Realtor and have enjoyed waterfront living in Hernando Beach for many years.  If you are lo...

Friday Foto - Winter Sunset in Florida like Fire in the Sky Winter sunsets in Florida are full of surprises and often the best of the show happens after the sun has disappeared on the horizon. This was not any different tonight in Hernando Beach, Florida.  I got to my favorite sunset watching location just in time to witness the sky turn into fiery orange colors.  Not at all like Rocky Mountain high... yes, the John Denver song popped into my mind..  I've seen the fire in the sky! Winter sunsets in Florida... they can be like fire in the sky!   Friday Foto - Winter Sunset in Florida like Fire in the Sky

Our in-depth study of the Tampa housing market has led me to pursue a more thorough understanding of “why” the Tampa real estate market appears to be rebounding faster than the rest of the State of Florida. Today’s two real estate graphs shed some light on the two faces of the Tampa real estate market. Home sales in Tampa have been returning to levels seen before the boom of the housing market 8 years ago. When we perform a price range analysis, we see which zones are most active now and contrast them with what we observed as far back as 2006. The two yellow highlight comments in the graph provide a very clear image of what is going on in the Tampa real estate market. One the left, we see that very few properties sold in 2006 below $100,000. On the far right however, we see that nearly ...
