John Prince Park 05.17.2009

This mourning, we biked John Prince park.  It was nice because there were few people on the paths.  We biked the inside park area, the camp grounds, and the small nature trail.  The shots did not come out well because my camera lense kept forming condensation from the coolness of my camelpak.  Oh well!

Joe,

the third photograph, what bird it that? Look like a wood shrike to me?

Joe said...

The gator was in feeding mode!

The third picture s a species of Heron. I have no clue what the second bird is.

Hi Joe
I agree with Yen about the Shrike or Wood Shrike.
Not familiar with American birds myself, but the European Shrikes look like that one. Very heavy beak.
Cheers
Denis
