Some photos that I took this week while observing the wildlife around me - come along and see....
 |
| This Short-billed Dowitcher was observed on Tuesday near Turner Beach. |
 |
| A visit to Rotary Park on Wednesday brought good sighting of this tailless Prairie Warbler. |
 |
| A Loggerhead Shrike - I'm so glad they are back in town. |
 |
| In the woods we found a Chuck-will's-Widow, quite a nice surprise to see it - usually I hear it and it's pitch black outside. |
 |
| Some colorful Golden-silk Spiders can be found in the woods too and if you're not careful you might just walk into their wide webs. |
 |
| Paper Wasps - check the tiny waist! It is said to sting but are not aggressive. |
 |
| And OH MY! What a nice surprise - a Mangrove Cuckoo hanging - where else - in the mangroves! |
 |
| Another Golden Silk -pretty but I'll still keep my distance, thank you. |
 |
| Yesterday I took my husband out to lunch along the Causeway - great homemade Chicken salad sandwich with a fantastic water view with a bonus: A Great Egret. |
 |
| This morning I was biking across the island and entered the Pond Apple Trail which was mostly under water - ahead of me was a Northern Waterthrush bobbing along while eating its fill in the puddles. |
 |
| After reaching several very deep puddles I decided to turn around - on my way back, these Egrets had taken this spot for some rest. |
 | |
| I just love to watch the wildlife and it always makes me wonder what they are thinking about - feel free to fill in the blanks on this scene. |
