Sure sounds like those swimming logs are Florida's version of raccoons.
How's the swim-up restaurant doing???

Visitor at the field today... Pegasus?

All day I been watching 15 Vultures eat a soft shelled turtle.  I think the 'gator got him first.  Just thought I'd pass that along.

Hey Richard.  Your suggestion of a flying hazard is actually bang on.  At the field down here, there are a lot of turkey vultures circling.  Perspective makes it really tough to figure out where they actually are so you really do have to make sure you're below or above them.  They're as big, or bigger, and an apprentice... so an encounter wouldn't be pretty... for either.  ;)

I know your name is DavidK... but your reports are like David Suzuki.. or David Attenborough.  Alligators, turtles, herons, horses, vultures, eagles, etc. :D :D :D

These little guys were outside my front door this afternoon.  They'll be pretty good flyers one day... if the Great Blue Heron leaves them alone!

Finally... some decent winds are in the forecast.  One flying day out of the last 14 is nuts.

Nice day, 7mph winds, but overcast.  A bit better for the rest of the week.
All by my self  at the field today.  It's deserted during the week.  I'm very glad TEMAC is not.
A new brood about to hatch at my front door.

Yes, and they make a yummy morning omelette.  ::)

It takes 20 minutes... and a toe... to get past mama.

Sun and 85 and very little wind today.  But, very odd wind.  It was only a couple of mph, if at all... but from all directions.
This wind vane was just spinning today... and not just the prop.  It was a good day for the UMX Timber.
