Last week I thought I had seen Wood Storks on the Gulf Coast but they were White Pelicans...hundreds of them!
This week we drove over to Halpata Tastanaki Preserve and looked over head to see a dozen or so Wood Storks flying over....maybe more! lol
It was a beautiful day for getting out on the trails.
The weather was nice and we only saw 2 other people while we were there and they were nice too!
Wood Storks glide overhead with such grace.
They aren't quite as beautiful up close but they are some of the most graceful birds in flight.
We walked to Owl Woods and there were log trucks loaded and ready to leave. They don't clear cut this area but they take out some trees now and then for the health of the preserve. They are also getting ready to do some prescribed burns. It's a beautiful place to hike and so well taken care of. During the pandemic it was one of the few places open to us for hiking in our area. I loved the place before but this made it even dearer to me.
No....we didn't mean to dress alike! How embarrassing! lol
I'm writing this a couple of days ahead of time and hope and pray the hurricane will pass us by. I'll give you an update when I can and hopefully I'll be joining in on the linky parties and commenting.
Have a wonderful weekend! Get outside and have some FUN!
Update : we are fine after the storm. We had a lot of wind and rain but no damage to our house. Our prayers are for everyone dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Nicole.
