Nature At It's Finest!

The theme for my final group of photos is all the WILDLIFE that we saw while riding in our big boat on the St. John's river and while paddling our little boats on the tributaries.

A solo crane flying overhead on the cold and cloudy Christmas morning.

A flock of wild turkeys (gobble, gobble) snacking n the grass at the entrance to Silver Glen Springs.

A beautiful hawk checking us out as we paddled below him in the canoe.

A Great Blue Heron stalking it's next meal among the weeds.

These fish (I have no clue what kind) were at Blue Springs swimming around with the manatees.

Cormorants waiting patiently for the warm sun to shine through the clouds so they can get dry.

A good-sized alligator relaxing on the sunny side of the river.

A huge flock of ducks waking up on Lake George.

Our best spotting of the whole trip: A Bald Eagle soaring across the river in front of our boat.

There were two turtles on this log, one guy went 'splash' right before I took the photo and this little guy is working his way into the water.

15 little birdies, sitting in a tree, one flew off...and there were still a bunch of birdies sitting in a tree.
