I'm a freelance writer and videographer, and spend most of my days exploring Florida's natural wonders from a kayak, a bike or rambling down a hiking trail. A Florida native living in Citrus County, you'll often find me watching the boats go by on the Homosassa River. I'm always sharing stories, photos and videos, so follow along and together we'll discover Florida's natural treasures.
The #moon tonight is incredible! Go outside and have a look, or I've got a video here: http://t.co/s7aigLVb

Whooping Crane Flyover Event in Dunnellon
January 20, 2010
More than 700 people watched in awe as a group of young whooping cranes on their way to the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge passed overhead. Camera shutters clicked rapidly as the cranes flew to the sound of cheering and applause. They were being led by ultralight aircraft, manned by pilots from Operation Migration dressed in white outfits that mask the human form. Believe me, it's quite the sight to see!
Here's a video from the event -- please check out www.operationmigration.org and learn about the efforts that are going on to reintroduce an Eastern migrating flock of cranes. Now, on with the show!
