It appears that it is too cold for the gators, turtles and most snakes.  This one found a great perch near the water, off the trail, and most importantly, in the warm Georgia sun.

We have had some nice walks at Piedmont and Bond Swamp NWR and Ocmulgee NHS.

Cool weather hiking

We were specifically searching for the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker who only lives in this rapidly declining long-leaf pine ecosystem.  No luck.

Kent got a great picture of some turkeys but overall critter sightings have been pretty spotty.  It is still fun looking for them so we will keep walking.
