Part FOUR: Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park in Florida

We are returning to the series today on the

Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park....

in Florida.

If you ever get the chance to visit there, please take the time to do so.

Most of the animals found there are ones that are injured

or that are rehabilitating..

and it is a gorgeous place.

One of my favorite birds: a Pelican.

It was cool the day we were there, and he is hunched down from the wind:

I had never seen one on a nest before, so was thrilled to catch this one:

A little fox, hiding out under a log:

Don't they have beautiful faces?:

A handsome Sandhill Crane. Loved that flash of red on his face:

I have YET to find an owl in the wild to photograph.

So, for me..this was the next best thing:

Apparently he was bored with me.

Or, I woke him up.

Either way, he kept his eyes closed, which cracked me up!:

And THESE big fellas, can stay RIGHT WHERE THEY ARE....

I didn't want any closer of a shot than THIS!:

I still have more photos to show you, so watch for my next blogpost and we will tour

this magnificent place together again soon.
