Add-on:
Since I posted this, we found a small frog in the RV in our bed. We were able
to capture it and release it outside, but that was a first!
The
last time we visited we only saw a single gopher tortoise and it had several
disgusting ticks attached. This time I’ve seen over ten and all seemed healthy. Four
were in the general area of a nesting section of the park, so maybe this is the
time of the year to travel again? It included a tortoise that was smaller than
most, though not a baby.
One
has a nest under the 2nd hole of a putt-putt golf course at the
park.
This
one was crossing the road. You know how they say how they are slow…it is not
really true.
The
river beach with lots of fiddler crabs. There’s a few things to consider as you
watch this one…One: There are more than you see in the movie. As I got closer
many had already disappeared. Two: I’m in flip-flops. All the time I’m
expecting to feel a crab crawl across my feet. Eek!
The
nature center had several interesting creatures like this box turtle.
There
are two Diamondback Terrapins, one female and this male. The female is bigger
but this male has more striking “diamonds” on its back.
And
there is an American Alligator at the nature center. Always cool!
BTW,
right before I took this sunrise picture, an alligator splashed into the river
near me. If you look really closely, you can see the eyes and nose near the
bank. Sorry to disturb you, alligator!
