Nature Walk – Green Cay Summer Quiet
It’s August, it’s hot, but I still managed to get out. The humidity has gone down a tad, so I wasn’t dripping too much after walking the two miles or so of this loop. There wasn’t a huge variety of birds now, just the typical herons, egrets, ibis, anginas, and other wading birds. As I was walking into a hammock, I saw a flash of blue from a Blue Jay, but it was moving too fast to get a photo. The nesting season is long over and the heat keeps the birds from getting too overactive. Here are some photos:

Green Heron

Purple Gallinule

Glossy Ibis

Tri-colored Heron

Black-bottom Whistling Ducks

Double-crested Cormorant

Lounging Turtle
Well, that’s it for now, folks. As you can see, my health has improved. I’ve been walking and swimming… especially enjoying the swimming as I can keep outside AND keep cool.
Enjoy the rest of your summer season (or winter for the Southern latitudes!).
Hugs,
