White-breasted nuthatches live here year-round, but I don’t get red-breasted nuthatches every year. I only get them when there is an irruption (a combination of larger-than-normal population and less-than-normal food supply in their regular territory) that sends them further south in search of food. This photo is the first I ever got of one.

Is this the same place you shared on Saturday of the Croc sticking his head out of the water? View attachment 2111027
Yes. Different pond (there are 16 that treated wastewater filters though over 40 day journey to river) and ironically the dike/roadway I took this photo on was Alligator Alley. Tomorrow will post a baby alligator in the water about 50 feet away. While it is a public park, its primary purpose is wastewater treatment naturally removing the phosphates and other chemicals that historically created killing algae bloom when dumped directly into the river, and now has less phosphate than the river has naturally. Also note, that while you walk along the roadway, there is no barrier between the photographer and wildlife. Pets smaller than a horse are not allowed, nor are personal vehicles larger than a bike.

Thanks! Just a little nervous for the duck family. I lived in Orlando for a couple years back in 83 and 84, and then moved to Bithlo out Rt. 50 East Colonial Dr for a few years. Most of the ponds and lakes out there had gators. Lake Pickett was known for lots of gators, and disappearing pets.:oops:
