Nature Walks – Is it really Autumn?

Okay, chronologically it’s officially autumn, but temperature wise, it’s still summer here in South Florida.  The temperature has eased downward at least five freaking degrees and the humidity is back.  My Yankee genes are stressed by excessive heat and humidity.  So why am I in South Florida?  Long story, which I’m not going to relate just now.  Anyway, I went to Green Cay, again, since Wakodahatchee is closed this week.  Lots of snowbirds showing up, both the two-legged and the feathered varieties.

Here are some more photos:

Breakfast!

Male Grackles in the midst of a mating ritual. See the shy female to the right? She’s listening and watching with interest.

That’s all for today, folks.  Enjoy your day!
