Turkey Creek, Round Island, Indrio Savannahs

Pictures from this weekend. Click to enlarge.

 Turkey Creek. Cooper's Hawk, mooning.

Turkey Creek. Cooper's Hawk, side view. I used a different shot of the Cooper's Hawk for my daily blog.

Turkey Creek.  Odd - we saw 4 Red Tailed Hawks there today.

Turkey Creek. I had no idea that turtles had claws like this. Dang!

Turkey Creek. This is an air plant and I can't remember it's name.

 Round Island. Great Blue Heron nominee on a fish.

Round Island. Mangrove Tree Crab. This has been one of my nemesis critters for a long time, I've never gotten a good shot before. I used a different pose of him for my daily blog today.

Round Island. I think this is either a young or female Mangrove Tree Crab.

Round Island.  A couple shells someone posed there.

Round Island. A Red-bellied Woodpecker. I'd like to take credit for this picture, but this is just a matter of having a really good camera, and a bird with impeccable personal grooming skills.

Round Island. This picture reminds me of Conan O'Brien for some reason. I think it's the hair.

Round Island. Very photogenic little guy.

Round Island. I think this was an eel of some kind.

Round Island. Manatee! (Did a little editing - he's black and white for a project.)

Indrio Savannah. I don't know what this is. Would love some tips if anyone else does.

 Indrio Savannah. Common Buckeye Butterfly.

Indrio Savannah. A Skink, one of my favorite critters here. Funny thing is, he REALLY wanted me to take his picture, so he kept taking a step towards me and posing, and smiling. Thing is, I only had my long lens and couldn't get him in focus. Unfortunately, something got his tail, but he was still cute.
