Underway at 8:36 from Fort Maitland Park
Still work to be done on the police boat house. No workers present. I launched from the grassy knoll, where I always launched before the construction began. It is a bit torn up. Underway at 8:37
As I got the camera ready I wondered why so much water was in the boat. I had tried to drain my feet before putting the inside. Reached back for my water bottle. Open, and empty. Went to the ramp, got out, went to the restroom to fill it.
Second launch, 8:46
Osprey in the nest
Canal
Lake Nina
A hidden gator growled on the somewhere just beyond these lily pads. I made it stop. By filming in an attempt to capture the sound.
Lake Minnehaha
Wood ducks
Moorhens
Great blue heron
Mallards
Anhinga. There will be more
Green heron
Maybe the name comes from the eye shadow
Unknown (to me) warbler. I can just ID the big birds
Great egret and turtle
Ibis
Feathers in the beak, not a bug
Did not hear, or see, the alligator on the way back
Back on Lake Maitland
Puffy clouds and flat water, but not as flat as it had been earlier, made some nice pictures.
Canal, so more people can have "waterfront" homes
Landed at 10:54.
Asked these guys if the kayak was for play,after work, or work. Work. Installing a water height post. In a bad spot, it you ask me. I hit it as I launched. It is right where the depth falls off.
Cute chicks
Will grow into an ugly Muscovy duck
