Drove over from Belleaire Beach to St. Petersburg this morning which isn't such a long drive. I had decided to explore the Boyd Hill Nature Preserve. When I arrived I asked some hikers leaving what there best bird of the day was "Horned Owl and owlets." They gave me the information on where to find them and off I went. When I first started my hike I was pleased to find a butterfly garden and then all along the way I found butterflies on Shepard's Needle. The Screech Owl (left) was in captivity having been injured and is not able to be released again into the wild. They have a display with a number of birds including Bald Eagle, Red-shouldered Hawk, Black and Turkey Vultures and more. |
