Nature Walks – Back to the Birds

After taking a few days… actually nearly two weeks off from visiting the wetlands, I was back at it, once again.  The crowds were a wee bit thinner today, but a major holiday just ended and perhaps some of the snowbirds (two-legged ones) went back to New York.

I visited both Wakodahatchee and Green Cay this morning and was blessed with two alligator sightings, as well as some wood storks, a Roseate Spoonbill (too distant to photograph), a handsome blue jay and the usual suspects, including coots, marsh hens, egrets, herons, ducks, and turtles.

Just walking without pain was nice.  I’ve had a few falls of late, but haven’t broken anything, just got a few bruises.  Slippery tile floors and moving too fast, I guess.  Still, in observing some of my fellow walkers, I’m doing pretty well for a “senior”.  Don’t look it or act it, of course, although I don’t dye my hair, either.

Here are some more photos.  Just for fun, I thought I would throw in a couple of black and whites since my photo editor allows it.

That’s all folks!

InJoy,
