Green Cay

One of the spots we always head to when in Boynton Beach, Florida is Green Cay. There’s a wood boardwalk that makes a very big loop around the entire park and there’s always some fun birds to photograph.

Sometimes you just have to scratch that itch

There were lots of these 2-3 foot long Iguanas sitting on impossibly skinny branches

On the way out to the car, we stopped to watch a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird gathering nectar from a bush next to the parking lot

Green Cay is a beautiful park run by Palm Beach County. I Highly recommend stopping by if you’re ever in the area.
