Early March kayak trip up Whiskey George Creek, with the dense creek  canopy just starting to leaf out.  This creek meanders from Apalachicola Bay miles into the Apalachicola National Forest (in this area, referred to as "Tate's Hell"). &n

Probably got too close to this gator.  It had just crossed the road to a pond, with its 8-10 ft stretched from the road's shoulder to the water's edge.  SMWR.

My lucky day, 2/26/17, to come upon this Great Horned Owl, in the state park on St. George Island.  I was actually looking to see if any migratory warblers had yet shown up (not the case).  Up in a nearby pine tree was a very large dark sh

Unusual pose for an alligator......contented expression, and engorged neck suggest this gator had recently eaten.  Numerous glossy ibis in the area.  SMWR, 2/25.

Black Skimmers at Bald Point State Park, 2/17/17

In the foreground are several terns in their winter, non-breeding, plumage.  The largest tern, on the left side of the picture, is a Caspian Tern, our largest tern.  Note its size compared the the surrounding Royal Terns.  Also, the C

Cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde NP.  Fascinating place that documents the evolution of dwellings and culture of the Anasazi peoples--now more sensitively referred to as the "Ancestral Pueblos"-- who inhabited these arid mesas from 600 AD to a
