It seemed as surprised to see me as I was it and quickly darted across the pathway. Mid run it decided to do a full body shake and roll in the grass before jumping back into the water. So cool!10 Jan 2025 05:15 +0000at://did:plc:2alkbbi4b32f64f5icrvgcb7/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfegr34qlc2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/johnsyrcle.bsky.social/post/3lfdyvog3bk2qDay 2 in Florida was another wonderful day of nature, birding and photography.
