We've had the fun of watching the Red-shouldered Hawks grow up at Blue Run
Park.
And something about the lighting gave us some of the best Hawk photos that
we've taken!
I loved the background in each and every one of these.
And this Hawk was intent in watching for a 'catch' down below and gave us
some neat poses.
I just have to bring out an old photo though!
We watched this nest of Red-shouldered Hawks a few years ago and this is
one of the babies.
They are all grown up now and we still see hawks on the limbs of this same
tree or nearby.
When we hike this trail, our eyes are usually drawn to the Rainbow River
that runs to the North of the trail. But today our best sightings were in
the swamp.
This Great White Egret put on a show.
Walking along a log with his long 'toes' guiding him
He was fun to watch.
Nature is always entertaining if you get out on the trails and take the
time to look at the beauty that surrounds you.
Thanks to everyone that has taken the time to view the
Ocala's Good Life magazine article about our hikes. My friend told me
yesterday that it was my 15 minutes of fame. I'm trying to get 15 more
minutes this week! lol
