- The last stop on my way out of the Florida Panhandle this time, was a scenic excursion along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. There were dunes, miles of beaches, and plenty of wildlife.
Might be strange, but my favorite encounter was the cotton rats. It was initially a challenge to get one on camera, but I succeeded.
I also had nice deer sightings. Some were up close, along the road. Others were climbing the tall sand dunes. It made for some nice photographic opportunities.
I filmed a few types of crabs. I always enjoy those. I should have brought my underwater camera. The wind made filming through the waves quite difficult.
Then there were the birds of course. So many species to be found.
Absolutely beautiful! I really liked the little rat too (surprisingly)! People say Florida is too crowded, but I think that's mainly in the big cities and where people try to cram together living at the beach. The Florida countryside and places like this are just amazing ❤
Took some patience to get the rat on film, but I really wanted it. I tell friends and family about how little traffic I see on these trips. I live in one of our most populated counties. It's so nice to visit the counties with less people.
beautiful! and another addition to my itinerary next january.
Yes! Definitely worth the visit.
salty sugar sand surface is nearly a desert, but a subterranean layer of fresh water sits atop the saltwater layer and feeds into a prolific mixed food chain
Hadn't thought much about where everything is getting its fresh water from. Nice!
awesome video , were those birds and crabs bay side or ocean side ?
Mostly bay side. I think all I filmed on the ocean side were pelicans and ghost crabs.
@@AlafiaHiker nice am headed down there next month will be looking for that spot :)
