The Rare Florida White Squirrel

Ochlocknee River State Park FL
Today we pulled into Ochlocknee River State Park and the ranger handed us a few pamphlets about the park. One was about the rare White Squirrels of the area. We read how they are a leucistic mutation. After setting up camp we started watching the gray squirrels play and then a white squirrel joined them. In the photo above, you can see the white squirrel next to the normal gray squirrel. It's always nice to see a target species while sitting in your camp chair. 

Read more about these cuties here.

Hello Armadillo!

 Somewhere in Florida


We got to watch this Armadillo foraging for food the other night.  It was very cute and didn't mind us being there at all.
