104:365 The Global Village


104:365 The Global Village
St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1931 to provide wintering habitat for migratory birds. (Thank goodness!) This Ruddy Turnstone is a highly migratory bird that breeds in the Artic north and migrates to numerous southern destinations. They find food by foraging along the beach and turning over rocks. If you will look closely at his beak, you will see that he has been hunting for breakfast. Humans need to realize that what we do in our own little area of the world doesn’t just affect one area, it affects the delicate eco-system of this whole planet upon which we live.
This is my soapbox and theme # 320 The Global Village.

This is one of a spectacular collection of old Ford trucks in a field near Crawfordville, Florida. They range from the 1900's to the 1970's and they are placed in chronological order. They all belonged at one time to the family of Pat Harvey and they were used on the family farm. Theme #24 Bent.
