Hi Al, great shots! Looks like you had a great time and the weather's been wonderful, even if a bit chilly at night! I'm also glad you did not wind up as gator bait!

Glad to see you made it back, but I did not, LOL! We were supposed to return this past Sunday, but instead couldn't face the thought of going back to snow and cold yet, so we extended a few more days. Now we leave tomorrow a.m. and this time, we have to leave, since we don't want to pay anymore change fees to the airline!

Connie,
I envy you, coming back was depressing and I still see it all when I close my eyes. If I could, I'd live there...but its not possible at this time.

Best wishes to you for a safe return! Drop me a Pm when you get back to talk Discus.

Very nice Al... what is the own in the fourth picture? Not familiar with that guy... (up in the tree).

Nice pic of limpkin! Never seen one of those guys before either. What? No closeup gator shot with limpkin?

[brewmaster15]

Hi Renee,
That owl is a saw whet owl... The Limkin is a great bird...very shy usually but if you go to Myakka River State Park, they can be seen...just watch for that gator.

We have a great state park in Ct called Hammonasette State Park thats on the coast and is a migratory bird stop over in the fall.. In October I've seen as many as 10 of those at once within a small grove of Cedar trees there.. cute little buggers.
