It was nice to see the deer close by in late February.
Taken with my phone, you can see them wandering around near the picnic area next to the lake.
Usual birds include a bluebird, swamp sparrow, carolina wren (singing his heart out) and a purple gallinule (showing off his big yellow feet).
Lots of color in February (which is really our fall). I’m not sure what the pink seed pods are but I’ve seen the squirrels eat them.
He was so close to the boardwalk that I had to take this with my phone to get him in.
I was leaving the park and saw some vultures fighting in the outfield of the ballfield (no one was playing). I parked and got out to see what they were fighting over. Whatever it was had been cleaned off.
I can almost hear that wren…what a lovely picture, as all of them are. The bluebird is beautiful and the feet on gallinules really are incredible aren’t they! Beautiful colors in the flora too …I love all of this and miss it!
A lovely post, and the Carolina Wren really stands out for me. The alligator scares me to death regardless of size.
Lovely images – a haven for sure.
