The "Nature Coast" is for the birds...and birdwatching. There's such a wonderful variety of birds that live in this area. Perhaps it has to do with the marshes, rivers, springs, beaches, and the choice of habitat that is available. The
Great Florida Birding Trail has several spots within a couple of miles of our RV Park (Encore Superpark). We've seen egrets, herons, gulls, hawks, ospreys, brown pelicans, white pelicans, eastern bluebirds (my first), sparrows, woodpeckers, woodstorks, possibly a bald eagle, and so much more.
This one I think is a juvenile yellow-bellied sapsucker. If anyone knows better, I'd appreciate the correction. I can't tell you how many times I see a pretty bird, but can't identify it for sure.

The sunsets have been stunning here. I'll just share two of my photos:
