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.
