It's always interesting to come home after a hike and try to identify everything you saw.
I was pretty sure this was a Rhinoceros Beetle but I was surprised to find out a lot of people keep them for pets. OK...that's interesting! But I think I'll leave him to enjoy the Florida Trails! lol
I hiked the Western section of the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway twice this past week and saw different birds and critters each time. It's really hot and humid to hike even in the mornings but I love it!
This was a neat sighting.
A Northern Flicker (yellow-shafted)
We've seen them before but the light was just perfect to show off the yellow feathers in his tail.
And doesn't he look like he's part of the tree?
I watched this Brown Thrasher fly across the trail.
He caught a bug and then ran across the trail...I mean RAN!!!
One more neat 'bug'! This is actually a FLY!
A Robber Fly!
You just never know what you'll see when you get out on the trails. Below is a Dayflower.
Ever had a bug for a pet? I had pet turtles when I was a girl and that was fun! We bought them at the dime store! lol
