| Jack-in-the-Pulpit |
Yesterday afternoon, I headed over to Caloosahatchee Creeks to look for any early migrating birds. Found it wasn't very birdy at all. Only had a single Palm Warbler and just one Gray Catbird and not a whole lot more. Did get to see one of the resident Red-headed Woodpeckers.

So I turned to other points of interest - Butterflies, Dragonflies, Wildflowers and such. Lots of Cuban Brown Anoles, and a sampling of Eastern Pondhawks and Black Swallow-tailed, Florida White and Gulf Fritillary Butterflies The best sighting for me on this walk was seeing flowering Jack-in-the-Pulpits. With all my tramping about the woods over the years, I hadn't encountered this plant before.
Spent time looking at the wildflowers and getting some pics. Then trying to get proper ID. Some of the plant life I was already familiar with like Sneezeweed, Spanish Needles, Wild Coffee and such. But there is always something new to learn about
