Hillsborough River State Park

A suspension bridge built by the CCC crossing the Hillsborough River.

A wood stork next to a great egret. These 2 appeared to be buddies standing right next to each other. I think this was a prime fishing platform. If you ever have the chance to float this river in a kayak make sure that you do it. The bird and reptile life along this river is amazing.

A white ibis family with adults and juveniles along with tri colored herons. I love the old mahogany trees that make the background habitat so beautiful.

A pair of Tri Colored Herons perched on a stump in the backwaters of the Hillsborough River.
