Hey Cil! You sure did hit 1000!! We have enjoyed all of them! I love reading about what you see on your walks and what your area of Florida is like- your descriptions have made us want to visit the area.
Wow- a bobcat. I think I would like to be in the car too if I ever run across one.

Yea! 1000 posts from Colorado to the Cape I have enjoyed them all!:clap_1:
I watched an animal rescue show last night where they were capturing Bobcats from a populated neighborhood. Man, those critters are fierce!!!!

No! Yikes. Would love to hear about it, though.
Paula, I am in Gulf County. I have been living all over the county, but am presently in St Joe Beach--that's where I saw the snapper.
Along the new stretch of 98, they do have traffic signs with mama bear and baby bear silhouettes.
But now that I think about it, we were in Bay County when we saw the deer and bobcat.

Congratulations Cil on 1000 post.:clap_1: I always look forward to them.
Seeing a bobcat is spectacular. We have them in our area. I am 1 hr. North of Manhattan. One early morning, we saw a Bobcat limping through our property. The paws were huge. Beautiful animal. It's so rare to spot one, but when you do you never forget it.
We called animal patrol since we were not sure if it was injured or if it was still around. He was near a bird feeder of mine. They mentioned that during mating season they can travel as far as 50 miles to seek a mate, and the bobcat we saw was mostly in a fight with another one over a mate. We did not see blood. They told us if we saw it again, to call them and they would pick it up, since about 1 hr North of us is bobcat sanctuary where they doctor them and set them free.
We also have small black bears, but have yet to see one. Most of the animals live in a Fahnstock State Park about 40 minutes north of us.
I did see a deer on 98 in SoWal once at dusk in Sandestin. They are quite tiny there, almost like small dogs. Our deer here are much larger.
I am glad to hear you are a box turtle rescuer too. There's several small lakes near me and they are always crossing the road to get to them. I just pick them up and put them on the side. They are slowpokes.

Bdarg and the kids found a baby scorpion on the driveway this morning.
After the cute little baby was brought inside to be photographed and interviewed, he was released into the woods, so he can grow and prosper, and plan when he is going to come into our house in the dead of night and sting us.
On a good note- I did not run across any pygmy rattlesnakes when we went exploring in the woods today.
