Let's walk on Scrub Jay Way today!
It's a trail that I take often and one I named myself.
And indeed I DID see Florida Scrub-Jays on this hike but they flew past and when a bird flew out of the scrub it was this very handsome Mockingbird.
I also saw the elusive Rufous-sided Towhee and a Dove.
But lets get back to the fairytale part of this hike.
Yes, it's this beautiful 8 point buck in the trail ahead of me.
I was almost back to the Jeep when I saw something BIG in the trail ahead.
So I stopped and zoomed in to see what it was.
I felt honored to see this regal White-tailed deer.
And feel thankful to have walked at a slow pace that particular day, so slow that he wasn't scared away until I decided to start toward him.
And off he leaped into the scrub.
This is a hike to be remembered!
Another wonderful adventure on the Florida trails!
On to the next!
