This tortoise looks big, but looks fool you with photos ...
This is a hatchling Gopher Tortoise. It is about the size of a 50 cent piece and was right on the road leading to Sand Lake. I moved it off the road and I hope it survives to adulthood.
Migration continues on ...
This Brown Thrasher is a year round resident in Central Florida but I saw many more than normal this week as migrants from up north move south into this area for the winter.
16 Sep 2023, Little Big Econ State Forest
Finally, no clutter ... no, not talking about the teenager's bedroom.
After years of trying to get an American Redstart in a relatively clear frame without leaf and twig clutter, I finally got my chance. Mary and Eli Schaperow and I were at the Little Big Econ State Forest when this male appeared.
Ovenbirds were right on the trail and as we entered a clearing, we saw a flycatcher doing its flycatching thing of grabbing an insect in mid-air and returning to its same spot.
It was an Eastern Wood-Pewee. We also had the rare dark morph Short-tailed Hawk do a fly-over.
