Lake Jackson June 2010

Lake Jackson is right in Tallahassee. You go under I-10 to use the boat ramp. It's nice to live in a city that still has natural beauty and wildlife to enjoy. Luckily the cutter boat had been by to open up the channel leading out into the lake.

Terry fished from his kayak, but didn't try hard to catch anything.

The birds were very intent on their fishing. Guess I would be too if my life depended on it.
We saw this Little Blue Heron catch his dinner.

Great Egret

This house along the lake, that belongs to Terry's friend Ben, is where we've watched the Bald Eagles fish and return to the live oak tree to eat their catch.

Spring Wildlife in our backyard

Caught this racoon on the trail cam set up by the creek that runs thru our east lot.

This is one of the 3 deer that visit our back meadow every day.

We see lots of small woodland birds, but this Indigo Bunting is a more unusual guest at our feeder.

Fishing Lake Woodruff March 2010

We stayed at Highland Park Fish Camp near Deland, FL

It's back there

in the Florida bayous somewhere.

We saw more birds than fish.

This is where Terry fell out of the boat.
The alligator didn't even move, but the splash sure scared off the manatee.

Great Blue Heron

Great Egret and Common Moor Hen

The 4 biggest are Marilyn's, but Terry caught the most Blue Gill & Crappie.
