Birds, Words, Pics + TV
Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive is a great place for birding, and that includes during the dog days of summer.
The 11-mile drive along the lake’s north shore draws a variety of birds. Sure, there are more birds and more species during fall and winter, but the former muck-farm-turned-wetlands is home to a number of species year-round.
Oh, and alligators … lots and lots and lots of alligators.
I made multiple visits there recently and was surprised by what I saw at this time of year. Take a look:
During an Easter morning visit to St. Augustine Beach, I came across some pretty recognizable shorebirds.
Imagine my surprise as I came around a corner and there was the bobcat sitting on the side of the road – like it was waiting for me to take its picture.
These little grey-and-white birds never seem to sit still for very long – preferring to flit about as they look for a fish or shrimp to catch from a pond, river or lagoon.
