On the road yesterday from Port of the Islands to Jupiter Florida. I took the back roads east of Immokalee through sugar cane and corn fields and an occasional orchard. In some places the cattle on the ranches were wading tummy deep in water (wierd). Loxahatchee NWR is worth a visit not only for the wildlife and ecosystems but to see how the restoration of the Everglades is taking place. Finally had a good rain storm with lightning, thunder and RAIN...it's been awhile. Highlights: Crested Caracara, Limpkin, Swallow-tailed Kite, Black-necked Stilt, Black-bellied Whistling Duck!!!!, Roseate Spoonbill, Common Moorhen babies, Cricket Frog, Pig Frog, FL Soft Shell Turtle, Red-bellied Turtle, Baby Alligator, Queen Butterflly, Palamedes Butterfly and Lubber grasshoppers everywhere....Loving each other :)
Today a wildlife sanctuary, lighthouse, state park for Florida Scrub Jay and then to Hobe Sound NWR.
