February 28, 2022 - Just Another Day
When I was finishing my walk, I caught myself lamenting the fact that I didn’t have a WOW moment today, no cool story to tell. That lasted all of a minute, because honestly, what a load of crap. Everyday is amazing, all we have to do is appreciate what it…

February 26, 2022 - The Turtle That Lived
I was walking at Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge and I saw a juvenile American Alligator basking in the sun with its mouth open, so I stopped for a few photos. I soon realized it was not basking, it was eating, or at least trying to eat. The…

Today I took a few laps around the Green Cay Wetlands in Boynton Beach, FL. I watched a Least Bittern hunt, they hang between two reeds or sticks with their feet and then extend their long neck down and snatch their prey. Also saw (barely) a Chuck-Will’s Widow. They are…

Today I went to Peaceful Waters Sanctuary in Wellington, FL. A great place for an easy stroll, the name is pretty on point. I am not a birder, so it isn’t saying much, but I saw my first Spot-Breasted Oriole, quite an amazing color orange, makes for a nice photo…
