Below are some lovely creatures that share our Falcao Forest home in Northwest Florida
Scientific name: Elaphe guttata guttata
Common names: Corn Snake, Red Rat Snake or Chicken Snake
This little bugger scared the nonsense out of me when I opened up the pump house to water my trees. He/she was lying in the doorway. Even though I screamed, this little bugger never moved.
Green Anole (aka Carolina Anole)
Anolis carolinensis
Look what arrived on 16 Jan 2008 !!
Turdus migratorius
Order PASSERIFORMES - Family TURDIDAE
I have never seen this many Robins in one place before ! We had at least 40 in the backyard and another 40 in the front with more flying in. It looked like an Alfred Hitchcock movie!
We also play GOLF and here are some critters we discovered on the course:
Snapping Turtle in pond just off putting green
Small Gator 2-3 feet long, opposite of pond from snapping turtles. next to putting green
Bigger Gator about 6 feet long just off another putting green
