I was so surprised to see 2 Sand Hill Cranes standing on the middle line of a road waiting for the next lane to clear. They were very calm and seemed to be holding a conversation while they waited.
I have seen many different birds in flight. Egrets are everywhere. I have seen a group in a gas station yard. They hang out with herds of cows and seem to claim an individual cow and stays with it.p
There are many Anoles of different species here. The smallest one I have ever seen had a body no bigger than my pinkie nail. The larges one I have seen lives in the oak tree outside my front door.
No matter where I go I can see them. They threaten me if I step in e wuffing up and shaking it's head.
One evening I found many green Tree Frogs at my front light. They are beautiful but so small that they are hard to find normally.
The turtles are everywhere. I watched on stand tall and walk on a side walk with humans all around it. A cop stopped traffic to let a turtle cross a road. I have taken 3 out of the Back Yard Boys lot. Jake gets excited and barks until I get it out. Charles and Rachel each found tiny turtles in the middle of a road. They were no bigger than a 50 cent piece. Yesterday we saw one we thought was trying to get through a fence. When we backed up to help he dove into a hole. I saw his little back feet in the air as he did. He must have been thinking "oh no, another human wanting to help me".
I saw a bug flying around a flower but had to take a closer look since I have not seen one that size before. It turned out to be a baby humming bird with the body only the size of a pea. It was still camo brown with little wings and tail. Then we saw another not far from the first. They must have been just out of the nest.
The wonders of Florida are so uplifting.
