Florida Photo Album - Part III

Another great sight is the Manatee, the most peaceful and docile of creatures, gently floating around in the coastal waters.
|
The Osprey Trail on Honeymoon Island takes you right under the trees in which the birds are nesting.
|
A trip on the airboat at Lake Tohopekaliga ("Lake Toho" for short) will take you right into the heart of the lake and reedbeds for more close-up sightings.
|
The main target here is the Snail Kite, at the northern limit of its breeding range.
|
Other birds can be found around the lake shore -including at the picnic tables!
|
Boat-tailed Grackle on Popcorn diet
|
And a Northern Cardinal for that extra splash of rich colour!
