Kayaking on the Hillsborough River

Today we drove the short distance to Wilderness Park at the Hillsborough River. Wonderful kayaking on this quiet, dark, slow moving river. We paddled upstream a ways and then drifted back down. 

Gary got this wonderful photo of one of the seven alligators we saw along the way. This guy was the biggest of the bunch. We kept our distance. 

We saw many white ibis, turtles, fish of varying species, herons (blue and green), egrets, an osprey, and two limpkins.  A perfect place to kayak!
