 Here is a photo of me hiking at Jonathan Dickinson State Park, about 15
miles from my house. This has been my training ground so to speak. I've
hiked a 10-mile loop there about a dozen times I think. I've seen gopher
tortoises and their burrows, seen osprey, red-shouldered hawks, downy
woodpeckers, red-bellied woodpeckers, blue-gray gnatcatchers, eastern
towhee, black racer, everglades rat snake (i think), Florida fence lizard,
Florida scrub lizard, eastern glass lizards, and plenty of other lizards.
Haven't seen frogs here, but I've heard plenty from spring through fall,
including southern cricket frogs, eastern narrowmouth toad, pinewoods
treefrog, among others.

I'm including my hike in the March of Dimes WalkAmerica program. The funds raised in WalkAmerica support research that saves babies' lives. Today in the U.S., 1 in every 8 babies will be born prematurely. Some of them won't survive, and others will have health problems that could last a lifetime. You can help!
