Never in my life have I attempted to write poetry; however I am currently enjoying trying.

~A Feather~

8 Comments

Adorning the woodland, a lone feather,

causing a pleasant shiver.

Caught in the filtering light, 

no longer aiding in flight.

An image to whom it belonged,

whispers her melody of song.

The feathers purpose has not ended,

lining a nest for another, how splendid.

what creature

upset my future

by inhabiting this nest

I did my best

in building my home

 it’s not on loan

you don’t belong

undo this wrong

Could it be an Owl?
Could it be an Owl? Perhaps a Great Horned Owl!

We visited the Hobe Sound Wildlife Refuge and Nature Center, which is located about two miles from Jonathan Dickinson State Park. We hiked the trails, walked on the beach and toured the Nature Center. We observed a Bald Eagle, Osprey and other birds. Here are two full time residents. I wasn’t able to learn exactly what happened to these two beauties, because the person that cares for them at the center was out of the building. It appears they might have broken wings.

Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge, was established September 30, 1969. It is a coastal refuge bisected by the Indian River Lagoon into two separate tracts of land totaling over 1000 acres. The 735 acre Jupiter Island tract provides some of the most productive sea turtle nesting habitat in the United States, and the 300 acre sand pine scrub mainland tract is valued because more than 90 percent of this community type has been lost to development in Florida. Sand pine scrub habitat is restricted only to Florida and an adjacent county in Alabama.
