It was a bit on the cool side at the start of my walk (I won't start until the temperature is a least 60 on my lani). It's Farmers Market day in the park so it was busy. There were a few birds out but mostly people. The coot was near the boat launch. The Tricolor and Little Blue were along the path that leads to the boardwalk. There are a pair of shrikes in the north side of the Bermuda Field.
Now for the good stuff. It is strawberry and Honey Bell season. The best strawberries come from Plant City (also known for its sink holes) or someones garden. Honey Bells are best eaten over a sink. They are simply out of this world. If you are in the area, Sun Harvest has the best berries and bells, period!

We made it to Lakes Park yesterday (were supposed to go Kayaking, but too cold, so we drove over there and walked instead ...saw some great birds). Now my goal is to get over there again --on a WARM day!! you are so right about Sun Harvest -- it is always a first day visit after we get here and but now it is time for us to go again for the Honeybells.
Happy New Year.
Kim I'm not sure if I've commented before but I'm really enjoying your Blog, esp since I hope to be living in the SW Florida area w/in the next six months. For now I'm in SE Florida. I love birding and there are so many lifers waiting here for me to encounter! Do you know the name of that white flowered plant? Very interesting!
