Sedgeunkedunk Stream Orrington Maine

The first canoe trip this year was successful from a wildlife spotting standpoint.  On this late afternoon trip we saw an Owl and two Osprey along with the usual Red Winged Blackbirds (I think that's what they are).  Most prevalent by far though, was the good ole Bull Frog.  Boy were they noisy.  I've never seen so many BIG frogs.  I never saw a small one all day.  Of course my favorite was Donatello, the Sedgeunkedunk Mutant Ninja Frog.

Wild Florida

If you happen to be in the Orlando area my advice; check out Wild Florida!

Marsha and I watched this Peacock doing a dance for over an hour.  In case you were wondering...the lady he was chasing was not impressed. 

Never having seen a Peacock dance I was surprised by the buzzing sound he kept making.  It may look like the "eyes" are a little blurry.  That's because he was shaking them really fast.  For a minute I thought my phone was vibrating. 

This alligator was in Cypress Lake.  I took the picture while on an airboat ride.  The photograph won't win any awards but what you need to understand is this alligator was lunging toward us.  I thought I wasn't afraid of alligators before this!  I think he was unhappy that we were disturbing his routine.  Oh, and he was big.  We also saw eagles, a big black snake coiled on up on a bush and lots of other alligators. 

Here's a resident of the Macaw Aviary.  Hmmm...what to say about the Macaw Aviary...oh I know...LOUD!  Those are some noisey birds.
