Monday at the Landing

Kenansville FL

June 8, 2026

This morning was really fun at the Landing. It was just five of us: Tom, Beth, Vic, me, Zoe. A warm morning with little wind so we had to cut it short at 10 am.

The first thing that happened was a Red Shoulder Hawk flew down into the water close in front of me. He splashed around in the water for a little while. I waited with the camera on him until he flew up into a tree.

Then a Night Heron flew by.

He’s pretty against a blue sky

Then the action got very slow so Vic called in the Barred Owls. Tom and I took positions where we thought the owls would fly by. Vic was on the caller and giving us heads up when something happened.

None of us saw this one fly in

My favorite shot – coming right at me.

We had a very fun morning even though it was shorter than usual.

Hope you enjoyed.

Stay safe! XO

  1. I love the two of the red shouldered hawk. One is a super cool shot and the other really shows how he got his name – his red shoulder is so pronounced.

    You know the one of the owl flying straight at you is scary to me!!! Xoxo

  2. I’m wondering how hot it got where you are in Florida ?- it was in the low 80’s here yesterday, too hot in the full sun so that’s when I take a nap in my outdoor sleeping quarters- a bed with mosquito netting around it in my potting shed. Very relaxing and cool. Then when it cools off, I can get back to work in the garden.
