I was out in the northern tip of the Pinellas Trail for a bike ride in early March. I saw a bald eagle sitting on the first utility tower I passed. Then a few towers down there were 2 sitting on a nest. I didn’t see any babies here. I have recently heard they didn’t have any this year. The eagle watchers didn’t see any signs of any babies so no one is sure what happened.
The eastern meadowlarks were out being visible this morning. One was on the cow pasture fence and several were in the brush along the trail.
There were a lot of sandhill cranes but it was too early for babies.
Why did the crane cross the road??? I’m glad I stopped cause he just walked right in front of me.
This is a castor oil plant. It was all along the trail. It’s an invasive plant so I wonder why it’s here.
Other things growing along the trail.
You get to see so many cool birds! I love when I get to spot a bald eagle, it’s still pretty rare. That was one silly crane!
The yellow birds are very beautiful.
You saw some sights. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a sandhill crane in the wild. Great photos!!
Nice bike ride with lots of Spring signs along the way.
The meadowlarks are beautiful birds. I get castor oil plants in my area too. It must be everywhere. I hear the beans are very toxic.
It’s always thrilling to see an eagle, but the Eastern meadowlarks steal the show today. Well photographed honey. Aloha!
Really lovely 🤩
Cranes are great jay walkers.
The meadowlarks are so delightful.
