Florida Panther And Other Wildlife
This morning I went to Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge with a couple of friends, and we saw a FLORIDA PANTHER!!!!!!! It ran across the road in front of the truck, probably no more than 100 yards in front of us!
Unfortunately it was too fast for me to take a photo, but it was very special to see that, especially as they are endangered. There are only about 100 of them left in Florida.
We also saw many different birds and insects, as well as over a dozen alligators and a river otter!
Here are a few photos. Once again, I took many photos, but will not get around to going through them and posting the best until some date hopefully in the not too distant future!
American Alligator…one of my first!
River Otter!
Various birds, including a Great Blue Heron, Coots, White Ibises, and a Grackle.
The launch is now postponed until at least the weekend, though I’m actually hoping it won’t be until at least the middle of next week, so I might get a chance to come back. I’ll be heading out tomorrow, sadly, but it should still be fun on the way back as I’ll be able to see some more new places. Despite missing the launch, I have had a phenomenally wonderful vacation!!
