We took a hike even though it was 'warm'! The temps are not so high but the humidity is higher than the temp. And we've had a summer of few breezes!
There's a nice long gravel drive from the highway to the trailhead and we see quite a lot from the Jeep.
And it's easy to pull over and get out if we need a better angle!
We've seen a lot of big birds on this particular tree that is such a good perch for raptors,
but never a Great Blue Heron!
Doesn't it look like the shape of a heart where his neck curves in?
Someone riding their horse,
Cattle Egrets in a tree
and even a juvenile Little Blue Heron on the fence.
One of the funniest thing we saw on the trail was this Crawdad!
What in the world is he doing on the hiking trail?
Trying to make his way to the marshland I guess. We thought maybe a bird flew over with him and accidentally dropped him. We didn't try to capture him and carry him to the water and I felt kind of guilty leaving him there. He was scooting along pretty good though so I like to think he found his way.
And to keep going with 'a favorite thing' (besides my red Jeep)....
Here's my camera, a Canon Powershot SX 70 HS. I love it! But what I really want to show you is the camera strap. The link to it is HERE! I love having a wider and more comfortable strap and it's pretty too!
