Orlando Wetlands Park - Opening Day (NKP)

Bald Eagles

The plan was not going to Orlando Wetlands Park but to check the eagles' nest in the Econ and kayak tomorrow somewhere (have not decide yet). My wife took the mini-van this morning and came back past 1 PM. Thought that there was still time to check the eagles' nest. But surprise...surprise...someone decided to pave the access road to the parking area today. Turned around to go home but then remembered that the Orlando Wetlands Park re-opened today and decided to pay a short visit. Short but a good one, or at least that is what I believe. Do not know, you tell me...

No comments, no story behind here. Just pics. Wanted to go to see the Vermilion Flycatcher but the Sun was going down, the park closed at 6:10 PM and did not have time to walk all the way to where the little red fellow is. Next time. Anyway...Thanks for coming, always check our Facebook Page for more pics of this and past trips and see you soon to share Views From Our Kayak.
