7-26-20 - 8-1-20 - Camp Host - Week 7

The rain Sunday morning caused us to have a late start to our work week.  The rain continued off and on until after 5 pm.

After completing our morning round, we sat under the awning in the light rain and bird watched.  The Cardinals were quite entertaining, running each other off of the feeder.  

The Hummingbirds were also busy chasing each other from the nectar.  Then all the sudden, a Hooded Warbler decided to chase all the Cardinals and the Hummingbirds away.  He was very photogenic protecting his territory.

We got back from our evening rounds and were sitting inside processing our pictures for the day.  The  territorial Hooded Warbler made another appearance.  This time, right out side our window.  He was banging at the window.  Hopefully, he was eating bugs and not trying to intimidate us.

We enjoyed nature as we got our work done on Monday. We had Gator sighting in our morning and evening rounds.  The morning Gator was swimming in one of the lakes.

One of the afternoon Gator's had a hitch hiker on top of his head.

The other Gator we saw in the afternoon was relaxing on a log with a turtle above him.  The turtle, jumped in the water when we stopped to take a picture.  That turtle sure is living life dangerously.


We watched the Gill's fish for a bit then stopped to move a Box Turtle out of the road on our way back to Camp.


The Hummingbirds have been competing for the nectar again this afternoon.  One minute they are swooping each other and the next minute, they are perched on a limb together.

We got in a heavy rain when we went to pick up trash on the beach Tuesday morning.

On our way out, we stopped to let a Copperhead move across the path.

This afternoon, we attempted a 1 mile walk in less than 15 minutes.  We were a few seconds above our goal.  After our fast walk, we walked a couple more miles, easing around taking pictures.



All the rain this week has the snakes, alligators and other critters on the move.






We completed our work and headed to Crossroads Friday afternoon.
