My sister and I spent a couple of hours hiking on Logue’s Way. It was a chilly day , but the sun did shine a bit to warm it up. A great day for a walk.
The Way has a couple of different landscapes. You start out on a crushed shell trail that takes you to a boardwalk through a wetland area with palm and needle palms. It takes several twists and turns and eventually ends up in the “uplands”. It’s a higher bit of ground that is a totally different area. Low growing ground covering palms and tall pine trees. The soil is dry and sandy instead of mucky. All within a few minutes walk.
When traveling through the “uplands”, JoAnne spotted a Bald Eagle sitting in a tree a short distance from us.
It was looking away from us, but must have heard us coming. In this picture it is looking over it’s shoulder at us.
By the time I got closer…it had taken flight and spent several minutes riding the thermals.
It is such a beautiful bird.
Lucky you....seeing an Eagle! I've only seen one and it was at Yellowstone.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sight.
ReplyDeleteWe're lucky to have so many Bald Eagles in Florida—and you got a really good-looking one!
