Life in Florida

This morning Hunter and I were on a walk when we noticed a bald eagle sitting on the side of the lake! We got to about 100 feet away from it and stopped and watched it before it took off and flew to the roof of a house. Later, it flew into this tree and I went back to the house to get my camera. There was a large nest in the tree next to this and we think it either belongs to this bald eagle or maybe to an osprey. It's about a tenth of a mile from our house. Anyway, it was very cool!


So, since we have moved to Florida, at least one of us has seen these animals in our neighborhood:

Two bobcats
A river otter
A bald eagle
Ospreys
Armadillos
Raccoons
Tortoises
Turtles
Sand cranes (see the picture below)
Roseate spoonbills
Lots of other cool birds

(This picture was taken from my front yard.)
