We are driving out to Blue Run Park once a week now that the weather is nice.
It's really the best place we have for lots of neat sightings like this Tricolored Heron.
You no good, lily livered dirty scoundrel!
You low down yellow bellied Sapsucker!
The first time I showed a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker on my blog, several people said they didn't even realize that was a real bird! They thought is was something mean someone said in old Westerns! lol
But they are real and just beautiful! Can you see the little holes he is making in the first photo? AMAZING!
We were lucky to get to see a pair of them a few days ago.
The male showed up early in our hike and then about a mile down the trail we saw a female. (these photos may all be of the male)
Here's a Downy Woodpecker we saw so that you can see the difference.
The Withlacoochee River viewed from the bridge.
We've been hiking every other day this week and I hope we can keep it up! 130 hikes so far this year!
Have you spent time outside soaking up the warmth of the sun? It makes you healthy, wealthy and wise. Well....maybe just healthy but we'll take that right now, won't we?
