Mon, Nov 16, 2020:  The Glades RV Park:  Another hot and humid day today until the cooler weather prevails.  I went for my walk early.  Today I walked over to the other side of the marina where the paved road ends and unpaved road begins.  I saw a peregrine falcon fly out of the tree on my right and fly over to a group of palm trees on the other side of the marina.  Seems she has a nest up there.  Don’t know what she “caught” to feed her chicks.  Will walk up there again tomorrow.  On the way back, I saw a coral snake in the road.  (red against yellow could kill a fellow, red against black is a friend to Jack).  A small one, but they’re not very big snakes anyway.  But they’re very venomous.  They don’t have fangs like a rattle snake, but if they bite you, it’s probably over.  I didn’t have my camera with me, so after I returned I got my camera and walked back there and took a picture.  I realized the snake is dead. Then we headed to Ft. Myers to see if Mike could find the part he needs.  No luck, so we stopped at Camping World and bought a propane tank and adapter so we can use our existing grill.  While we were in that area, we stopped at Cracker Barrell and ordered two fried turkey dinners to take back with us.  That was really good.  Only ate half.  And when I looked out our back window, there was a black snake on the table that holds the grill.  Yikes!     


The little coral snake.  Not a great picture.  Not crazy about my Iphone camera so far.
