The little town of Port Richey and Ja-Mar Travel Park, just north of Clearwater is home for the next week. We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas meal with the residents, 40% of which are Canadian. The 150 attendees were asked to bring a dish (I brought scalloped potatoes) the park provided Ham and needless to say, we had a huge feast! I hear there is a BINGO night on New Years Eve, if there are openings we will attend.
The park flanks Werner-Boyce Salt Springs, a park in the works that has big plans to be the future canoe and kayak haven along the nature coast. It's not an area known for beaches but an excellent place to see many birds and wildlife that call this marshy coast home. I've added several species to my life checklist including Snowy Plover, Wood Ibis, Reddish Egret and Anhinga (in the Cormorant family). No Flamingos yet but these rare birds are usually escapees if they are seen in the wild and only seen in the far southern tips of Florida. It's hard to capture these birds digitally with the small Kodak camera so sorry, no bird pics.
