Day 118: April 27th – Eagles, Birdies, and Turkeys


Sunny, light breeze, and very warm (high 80s)


       We are in Shades of Green, a Disney Resort dedicated to the active and retired servicemen of our Armed Services.  Sharon’s Uncle Buddy is a retired Air Force General and is celebrating his 90th birthday.  We begain the celebration with a golf outing on the Palm Course of the resort.  As with most courses in Florida, we found egrets, ibises, and Great blue herons like this one throughout the course.


       What we normally don’t encounter on Florida courses, however, are Wild Turkeys. 


       We  can go several weeks visiting refuges and preserves without seeing a single turkey, and here we are in the middle of Disney World and having turkeys surround golfers in the middle of their stroke.  

       
       It was a wonderful outing in spite of my score,  made all the more special by these special members of the gallery.
