Hiking ’round Harns Marsh, Part 2

March 27, 2012

This is a follow-up to Part 1 of the same hike, which was posted a couple of weeks ago. I promised you shelling, and shelling you shall have There are at least two different varieties of apple snails at Harns Marsh – possibly, three – but only one of them is a Florida native. The other two are from South America, and having established themselves here in Florida, are considered “invasive exotics”. There are...

© Copyright 2012 | http://MyMobileAdventures.com | CLICK any photo for a larger view Saturday morning, I stumbled to my computer as per usual, ample dose of caffeine in hand, and sat down to read the news, check my email, and catch up on Facebook. I happened across an article about a nature festival taking place right here in Lehigh Acres, at a place called Harns Marsh, not far from where I live. I recalled...

Osprey Cam on Sanibel Island at Ocean’s Reach

January 7, 2012

Here’s a very cool thing – Ocean’s Reach on Sanibel Island has set up an osprey-cam! Mama Osprey laid three eggs just around Christmas. She’s been sitting on them ever since, but I just got to see the eggs – guess mama’s got to have a break sometime. Her mate is now hovering over them, watching the skies for her return. I can’t wait to see the hatchlings – this is going to be...

Screaming (from the) trees

October 26, 2011

Screaming (from the) trees, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. I passed this fellow twice during my run in Lakes Park this morning, and both times he screamed his head off at me.

Spooked each other in Lakes Park

October 26, 2011

Spooked each other in Lakes Park, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. Came trundling up the bridge on my morning run, and who do you suppose swooped in low before me? He came to rest on the rail and allowed me to take his photo. He kept a watchful eye on me as I thanked him and passed. The stop was worth ruining my time this morning (dipping down into the low 14:xx minute mile...
