		<description><![CDATA[As I set out to hike the Dennis Creek trail, I am amused at how the Fiddler crabs run abundant as they quickly scatter from my seemingly giant footsteps.  I veer from the main trail to explore the trail created by Fisherman along Dennis Creek.  To my surprise I see several oyster bars and two great white egrets feeding across the creek and a few fishing traps. The marshes explode with color as the lime green of the perennial glasswort and the brown cord grasses contrast with the blue water and sky.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While hiking the trail along the northern end of the eastern dike, I witnessed hundreds of Ibis as I came upon a bird rookery. I paused a few moments to eat a snack and savor this incredible sight. As I ventured further along the rookery I saw other sets of nests including Anhinga, Great White Egret, Great Blue Heron, Cattle Egret, Glossy Ibis and Cormorants. I was in awe as I observed the birds coming and going and have never seen so many of our feathered friends in one location! There was a leafless tree that had a Cormorant resting on what appeared to be every branch.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our favorite trail was Marsh Rabbit Run to Wading Bird way.  This trail proves the most exciting for the bird watchers!  Glossy ibis, flocks of White Ibis, and Cattle Egrets feed and flutter about.  Great Blue Heron hide in the tall grasses while little blue heron and Green Heron wade through lotus, duckweed and water lettuce fishing for food.  Roseatte Spoonbill and Sandhill Cranes make an occassional appearance as flocks of Cooter, Morehen, and Blue winged tern duck are scattered about.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The mid-winter season is when the Osprey are busy caring for their young. The Osprey hiking trail on Honeymoon Island State Park in Dunedin, Florida, is a great place for viewing the Osprey in their natural habitat. Watch as Osprey maintain their nests with twigs, bring fish back to feed the young, and switch places with mates as they take turns watching over the young.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The ridge leads me out into an open marshland full of grasses. In the distance I see dozens of wading birds.  Many Great Egrets, snowy egrets, male and female white Ibis, one Great Blue Heron, Wood storks and others.  I pause to take in this wonderful moment.  I try to take a few photos.  I continue along the ridge as it turns south watching as three seagulls attempt to pick up a dead fish.  I spot a lone white pelican cruising the skies in the distance.  The path curls back west where it appears to end on a peninsula.  There is a crossing built of rocks just high enough to get you past the shallow water.  If you lost your footing, tt would be a cold fall but worth the risk.]]></description>
