Ochlockonee River SP, Sopchoppy, Fl.

These bird pictures were all captured within 30′ of our campsite!

Some scenes of the Longleaf pines in the pine flatwoods. These fast growing trees have all their branches high above the forest floor allowing fire underneath to inhibit choking shrubs. In early pre-European times, Florida and other southern states were predominately pine flatwoods, a wonderful habitat.
