I went out looking for bears this morning. I failed in that. I saw a bunch of Florida Scrub Jays, some Wild Turkey, White-tailed Deer and a Pigmy Rattlesnake. The Pigmy Rattlesnake was a highlight for me as I hadn’t seen one in a long time.

Florida Scrub Jay-my second time seeing them this year after missing them for probably 10 years.

Wonder how they got their name?

What a great collection of critters. Birds, rabbit, turkey deer, Pygmy rattlesnake and beetle. It’s like a baby Noah’s ark. You may not have found your bear, but you found everything but bear.
Where was this great menagerie trip to ?!!!!
This was Ocala National Forest.
