We spent a morning at Spruce Creek Park and Preserve looking unsuccessfully for a Red-breasted Nuthatch. We did have a lot of other interesting things.
An American Kestrel is always nice to see perched, and not view from a moving car.
Ballmoss (not a moss but a flowering plant in the genus Tillandsia).
A couple of lichens. The left one is a member of the genus Usnea. The right one is in the genus Parmotrema, I believe.
Perrenial glasswort an interesting plant that we find in tidal marshes.
Spanish moss, again not a moss but a flowering plant in the genus Tillandsia.
More lichens – the Christmas wreath lichen and White wreath lichen.
My first Ruby-throated Hummingbird of the year.
Cloudless sulphur, so far the most common yellow butterfly that we’ve seen.
And finally, a Ruddy Duck. One of two at nearby Reed Canal Park.
More tomorrow when we re-visit Spruce Creek.

Wow, these photos teach me to look much more closely to tree branches and into trees for lichens and “mosses.” And to look more closely at everything! Beautiful photos, thank you.
