It will be a few months before we get any cold temps here in North Central Florida but some of the vines and trees change color at the end of the summer and give us that hint of Fall.
I was finishing up a hike on the Marjorie Harris Cross Florida Greenway when I saw a dozen or more birds flitting around.
Most of the birds I got photos of were White-eyed Vireos.
They are so petite and beautiful.
I always think they are Warblers at first, until I see the eye.
I enjoyed watching them flying from tree to tree.
And then I saw this bird.
I thought at first it was a Tufted Titmouse but now I am not sure.
This was in the same spot that I saw the bear one week, and then the 8 point buck the following week.
It's a good spot to slow down and look around.
I also saw a hoverfly. The wings were a beautiful bronze color.
More info HERE.
And I saw the biggest stand of Forked Bluecurls.
The blooms are only open in the mornings and they are tiny.
The flowers are less than an inch long! More info HERE.
There's always something to see in nature and it's fun to come home and do research on birds and wildflowers....an hoverflies! We can all enjoy learning new things.
