We started our hike at the Halpata Tastanaki Preserve from the Pruitt trailhead.
I'm calling this a Florida Christmas card!
But we hiked a different trail. When we got to the Arrowhead, we turned left.
And then when we got to the point we were planning to turn around, we kept going on an old roadbed to the South.
We went farther down that road than we've ever been before and we saw so much wildlife!
There was an Armadillo digging up a storm and not the least bit bothered by us.
And when we walked away from him, we saw a dozen or more Wild Turkeys down the trail.
They were TALL and chasing each other back and forth across the trail.
So we had a good sighting but they were so far away, our photos are a little washed out.
It looks like their are some young ones with the flock too!
I think these were talking about US!
It was fun to see so many.
And as soon as they left the trail, a White tailed Deer walked out.
He looked away from us most of the time but finally looked around.
Then he went back to browsing.
We heard the Sandhill Cranes overhead and turned our cameras to capture them.
Hubby even had a photo bomb in one of his pics. There's a Buzzard in this photo, going the wrong way!
Lots of other sightings for the day but I'll save those.
I hope you get outside to enjoy nature and maybe even find a spot you've never been before. You just never know what you'll see! Don't turn around TOO soon!
