Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
Just when I was joking that I had dragged the camera with me and there was nothing to take photos of today. I actually said to my husband, “Please take the leash, maybe there will be a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker” on the tree ahead. Surprise there was! Turns out that it wasn’t such a bad outing after all.

Well, it is Thanksgiving in South Florida.
Today two or three American Kestrels were flying, chasing and hovering in the sky. Not sure if they were just chasing each other or hunting, but it was very cool to watch.

Here are a couple of photos from today’s dog walk. The Anhinga was a new visitor to the tidal canal. She was a nice surprise this morning.
