After locating this Kingfisher's favorite perch, I was rewarded for a long wait by it bringing back a small fish to eat.

My Park Comments

Palm Island Boardwalk Community Park // Aug 23, 2008

The Lighthouse sits at the very end of Grantham Point in the Palm Island Comm. Park just south of downtown Mount Dora. The 35' Lighthouse was dedicated on March 25, 1988. Built of bricks covered with stucco, the lighthouse stands sentry over the Port of Mount Dora. Its 750 watt photocell powers a blue pulsator sending out a guiding light to all boaters navigating Lake Dora after dark. (the light is not operational at this time due to renovations at the park)

Myakka River State Park // Feb 1, 2008

Myakka River State Park is one of the state's oldest parks. It was developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934 and many of the original, historic buildings are still in use today, including five rental log cabins.

Myakka River State Park // Feb 1, 2008

It was a pleasure to stay several days at one of Florida's largest and most diverse natural areas. The "Florida Wild and Scenic" Myakka River flows through 58 square miles of wetlands, prairies, hammocks and pinelands. The river and its two shallow lakes attract a myriad of wetland creatures making birding, canoeing, fishing and wildlife observation popular activities.

Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park is a great place to experience. With its many different trails through shady hammocks, pine flatwoods,and the wet prairie marsh there is an abundance of and a large variety of wildlife to enjoy.

Dade Battlefield Historic State Park // Jan 1, 2008

The Re-enactment of Dade's Battle (originally known as Dade's Massacre) is a must see Narrated Re-enactment that keeps you completely involved. On the morning of Dec. 23, 1835, one hundred and eight soldiers led by Brevet Major Francis Langhorne Dade left Ft. Brooke at Tampa Bay to march north 100 miles to reinforce Ft. King (present day Ocala). On the sixth day they were attacked by Seminole Indians. At the end of the day long battle, the officers and men of Dade's command had been destroyed. Only 3 soldiers survived the battle and the Second Seminole Indian War had begun. The war would last seven years, claim thousands of lives, cost thirty million dollars and force the removal of virtually all Seminoles to Oklahoma.
