814 October 9, 2022 Scout Island Park
I began the day with a good three mile walk in the campground. We are seeing lots of birds in the area; hawks, osprey, wood storks, egrets, herons, and ibises. All beautiful!


We packed our bike bags with some water and snacks and took the Levee Trail about 3.75 miles to Scout Island Park. There was a nice paved trail there.

These are Florida carpenter ants or sweet ants. They look pretty intimidating but they do not bite or sting.

We climbed the observation tower.




On our way back to the campground, Tim spotted this green iguana.



The rest of the day was spent inside. It rained all afternoon. Fortunately, there was NASCAR and football to keep us entertained and as always, a list of chores to accomplish.

That Green Iguana appears to be about 30 inches ??
That’s about right!
We kept our distance…he absolutely knew we were there!
