St Johns and Econlockhatchee

I thought this was a snail kite. Looked it up to be sure. It is. A juvenile. Also saw an adult. Not a bird I see often.

On the St Johns from C.S. Lee Park at 12:45. Can't tell from this photo, but it was windy. Also, the St. Johns is low.

Snail kite

Rock Springs Run

A frigid day in Central Florida. 24 at sunrise. Only 35 when I launched from Camp Joy at 12:20.

A tandem kayak wad coming back to Kings Landing as I began to paddle upstream.

Wekiva River

Since I retired 15 months ago, if I paddle the Wekiva River on a weekend, I launch from Katie's Landing or Wilson's Landing to avoid the crowds at the State Park and Wekiva Island. But, a cold front is moving in, so I thought it would be quiet at Wekiwa Springs State Park. It was.

On the water at 11:20.

I saw a fanily in a canoe and 3 paddle boarders. No one after Wekiva Island.

Whadaya lokking at?
