Underway from Wekiwa Springs State Park at 1:12. Delayed by work and a cart wheel falling off four times as I carted the kayak down the hill
Sunny and a little cool. Long pants, t-shirt. Windbreaker in the hold.
Alligator at the confluence of the Wekiva River and Rock Springs Run. As was Joanne B. River patrol volunteer
Up the Run
If not for a huge group of a campers headed to Otter Camp, it would have been very few people. I think a lake wind advisory and morning clouds kept people off the water. The good thing, the campers were spread out as they came down the Run.
The last camper went down Run a good ways up Run of Big Buck camp. That gave me reason to go farther up Run.
Turned back at 3:35
Red shouldered hawk
I missed a photo of a deer before this one
As Archie Bunker said, I'm no grindacologist, but I think she's eating for two
Another deer, maybe two, were nearby.
Too close to this red shouldered hawk. And moving to quickly.
In the lagoon, I paddled on the edge. Something I will not be able to do for a while. The hydrilla is taking over. Joanne B said the Park is going to start removing it next week. This last happened about a year ago. A yellow barrier is put around the lagoon, To prevent herbicide from spreading, I assume. The barrier does become a perch for all kinds of wading birds.
I drove on the Park Road to Sand Lake. Looking for deer at dusk. Did not see any.

They may not be using the yellow barriers this time---my impression is that they will be harvesting the hydrilla and maybe putting pellets in. We'll see. I will probably Canoodle up the Run on Tuesday.
Thanks for the info.
Heck of an opening Master Dave!!!
Thanks, Luis.
