On Friday morning, we went to St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. It has a variety of habitats, including salt marshes, hardwood swamps, pine flatwoods, and pine/oak uplands.
We hiked a nice trail behind the visitor's center.
There was a different large grasshopper along the trail--only about 2" long.
We stopped along the road at a freshwater pool and a brackish pool across from it. We saw lots of water/wading birds including this Black-necked Stilt--a black and white bird with long, red legs--doing some sort of dance on the lilypads.
We decided to go get lunch and come back later since there was so much to see. So, we drove into Tallahassee for lunch.
