Paddling on The Econlocklatchee

 On December 17 we paddled on the Econlocklatchee River with our friends Patty from TGO and Michael and Cyndi from Apopka.  The "Econ" is the only about 45 minutes from our winter home, and we usually paddle it 3-4 times each winter.

Normally we see lots of unusually large gators on this stretch, but this day was cool and breezy and none were out.  We did see a number of great blue herons, belted kingfishers, ibis, cormorants, and a few ospreys and red shouldered hawks.

OK, everyone bend over and show their butts!


Matilda is always the first one in the boat







We didn't see any alligators on this day, so I thought I would include a picture of a few really big gators we saw on this same section in February earlier this year.
