From there we went over to a little nearby park that we frequent. Lots of ospreys there, but they were not too thrilled to see us. These are pics that I took...
We went exploring after that and came upon a wildlife management area that had some really cool live oak trees...
The place was eerily quiet though and kind of creeped me out, so we didn't finish our hike there and headed back home instead. I've never felt that way on a hike before, but I just couldn't get over the atmosphere there - kind of odd...

We see more eagles here every year. Yesterday I spotted 2 just on the way to the airport. They really are an awesome sight!
