Joe Overstreet Rd

On Saturday we took a ride down to Joe Overstreet Rd in Kenansville, FL. The action again this time was on the road heading in (Canoe Creek Rd). There were some Wild Turkeys, Bald Eagles and a Cara Cara dining on some road kill…

There was a big flock of wild Turkeys off of Canoe Creek Rd. The Tom puffed up for us a few times.

With all of the Bald Eagles in the area now, there should be a lot of action starting in the next couple of weeks when the eggs start hatching. There will be a lot of hungry mouths to feed!
