Mims, FL ~ Chain of Lakes Park

Loggerhead Shrike with a snack
This park is very large with many bodies of water but since I was running out of steam I didn't explore it much.  I saw a number of alligators here.  I guess when you live here you become more accustomed to them.  If they are sunning on the path I am walking, I carefully turn back which happened here twice.  I have been surprised not to see many ducks and especially the Black-bellied Whistling Ducks that have been everywhere in prior years.  Therefore, it was good to see about 12 of them here at this park.
