While they are not up to the quality of the pictures that Hitch posts ... they are decent. They were all taken with a circa 1980 35mm with a 500mm lens ... handheld, no tripods. The only exception is the pictures of the white heron, they were taken with a Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm.

Ringnecks on Blackpoint?

Yeah, they've been there on the 3 or 4 trips I've taken through in the last month, although it's been mostly pintail. L-pond has had quite a few as well.

[Kevin Hall]

Yep. All of those were taken in Blackpoint. That was the only group of ringers that I saw.

i did see a florida panther crossing the road last saturday morning.
Where at? I've seen one crossing SR46 at the St. Johns River and saw one in the Relay WMA once as well. When I called FFWCC to report my sightings, some imbecile tried to tell me I saw a bobcat. Yeah, a tan colored, 90 pound "bobcat" with a long slender tail, without pointy ears. :dontknow:

[uncle D]

"Panther"

Did you see it in the Shilo area?

Had a buddy tell me that on a hunt last year, his dog started acting funny. sniffing the air, hackels raised kinda stuff. When he, my friend shined the area he thought he saw a large cat with tail.

I was in Onion farm this year. First one in. I heard a large creature running thru the water, but not fast like a deer. Tried to shine the marsh, but did not see anything.

I've seen one on the L pond dike between the impoundment and Blackpoint drive where all the palm trees are. I heard somebody on the north end of sr 3 hit a very big buck the last weekend.

I saw this buck on the side of SR3 inside the refuge 2 weekends ago. He had 3 points on his left main beam, and a big cowhorn for the right. Good sized buck.
