Werner-Boyce Salt Springs State Park is a small park that also touches about four miles of the Gulf of Mexico. It is located in Port Richey, FL in western Pasco County. There are so many opportunities to see animals in the natural habitat including gray fox, alligators, gopher tortoises, and endless species of birds.
Also, make yourself at home with the beautiful greenery that surrounds the whole park. If you are lucky, you may see a colorful butterfly, or the many animals that make the park their home.
What a suprise to find in middle of the highway. After some emergency manuvers this turtle was ensconced in a cooler and taken 1/8 mile to the conservation area. The turtle then got to pose for me.
An Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina caroline) waiting to cross Hawkin Rd. in Burlington County, NJ. Although this seems like a peaceful county road, the turtle had had at least one near-miss previously (more here).
