Getting Back to Nature

Hi All,

Monday evening we attended the Clearwater Audubon Society (CAS) meeting and learned a lot about local butterflies. Tuesday evening we attended the local Shell club, Suncoast Conchologists.

Today we went on a CAS bird walk at John Chestnut Park. We saw lots of great birds and other wildlife but only a few got close enough for iPhone photography, like this cardinal.

and this huge soft shell turtle.

This red bellied woodpecker showed us his red belly.

This large bee colony has taken over a woodpecker hole.

This is a five-lined skink.

This park is free of air pollution as evidenced by this luxuriant growth of Christmas lichen.

We were all dissed by this barred owl.

No such problem at home. This is one of many different, "Are you going to feed me now?" looks.
Love,

Sandy & Carl
