Our Warbler hot spot is closed for boardwalk repairs - so we opted to visit Lakes Park, it had been a while since we did so and we were blessed with quiet trails, a nice breeze and a lovely variety of wildlife and nature - come along and see....
A lovely Red-shouldered Hawk gave us time to ponder its identity - what is it with hawks and their confusing looks! |
This young Tricolored Heron was catching the early morning sun rays just right. |
What's not to love about the brilliant Red Cardinal! |
A Great Blue Heron beautifully framed. |
Not too far away we witnessed a pair of Bald Eagles getting their nest in shipshape condition for the upcoming season. |
Another Red-shouldered Hawk - more pondering... |
It figured it'd better lean and rest while we did so, as it might take us a while. |
This very young Marsh Rabbit was too cute to pass up... |
with a very debonair white mustache under its nose. |
The Loggerhead Shrike are back in sight! |
A walk through the Fragrance Garden gave us opportunity to enjoy and admire this Monarch Caterpillar, had I been quick enough we would also have a Monarch Butterfly photo to go with this. |
An eye candy of a bloom from the.... |
Also, the Dwarf Royal Poinciana....check the bloom out.... |
