It was early when we woke up and got out of the tents. We took this opportunity to walk down by the spring and look for birds. We found them! Because this area gets lots of foot traffic, the birds did not get spooked by our presence. We had two pileated woodpeckers stay in the area the whole time we were there. We stayed a half hour or so before breaking camp and heading over to Woodruff Lake.
The fog is beginning to rise
The water is quiet
A Carolina wren
First peek at the pileated woodpecker
This great crested flycatcher has caught a dragonfly
Long shadows as the sun is just coming up
The spanish moss is everywhere
They are incubating eel grass to re-plant in the spring basin
A Red Shouldered Hawk saying good morning
A red bellied woodpecker, the second of three different species we would see that day
One of the pileated pair
Native American
A Green Heron
