Our last full day in the park we decided to hike to the beach area. Turned out it is really a nice beach but I am not sure I would want to swim with the potential gators the way these turtles do. We had another visit from our friendly woodpecker who turns out to belong to an endangered type so seeing one is pretty special.
Is that an ivory-billed woodpecker? If so, the girls are going to be thrilled. Such a bird is a critical piece in the book we are about to finish and we saw one at the lake last weekend. (We would never have known but we were with our goddaughter and her family and she is quite obsessed with birds and was exceptionally excited to see one.)
