Taking Our Best Shots of Florida Wildlife

Taking Our Best Shots of Florida Wildlife

Taking Our Best Shots of Florida Wildlife

By Bob Sanchez

Seven members of the SCC Photo Club headed to the Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park. With one enormous exception, all the fauna are native Floridians.

We snapped shots of birds such as flamingos, roseate spoonbills, wood ducks, various types of pelicans and birds of prey: owls, osprey, a Cooper’s hawk, a black-capped nighthawk, a caracara, and more. Of course, there were the familiar alligators and manatees. Oh, and a safely fenced-in panther.

Weighing in at three tons, the park’s only non-native resident was impossible to miss. Lu (for Lucifer) the Hippo, was born in January 1960 in the San Diego Zoo. Lu moved to Homosassa in 1964 and became an honorary citizen of our state in the 1990s, by proclamation of then-Governor Lawton Chiles.

We each paid $13 for admission and sprung for an extra $3 for a delightful round-trip boat ride to the Park where we found most of the animals. It’s a great place to bring the grandkids and spend a couple of hours enjoying nature. For more information, visit “homosassaspringswildlife.com”.

Cygnet Yacht Club Awards

Cygnet Yacht Club Awards

Cygnet Yacht Club Awards

By Paula Lickfeldt, Photo by Rich Link

On May 3, the members of the Cygnet Yacht Club had dinner at Club Renaissance. They had a night of socializing and awarded the trophies that the members had won the month before.

Rich Link, club president, uses electronic scorekeeping software to keep the race scores for the month. At the end of each month he tallies the scores to see who won the most races. Once a month, the club members and their wives or partners go out for dinner and the trophies are awarded. The winner of a trophy gets to keep it for three weeks, return it and then it is passed on to the next winner.

At the May dinner the awards went to (pictured left to right), Jim Hallaron 4th place, Glen Surkont 2nd place, Rich Link 1st place, and Bob Cabral 3rd place. Bob got the blue boat trophy for racing the most races in April.
