I heard a rustling in the undergrowth around the cypress trees, and as I walked closer to see what it was a squirrel ran up the tree and paused. I managed to get a few pictures before he moved to the other side of the tree.

It is nesting season in Florida.
The eastern pondhawk is an athletic, swift-flying predator, able to catch damselflies and other insect prey on the wing.
Nymphs of the eastern pondhawk are identifiable by their green eyes. When they leave the water and moult for the final time, the emerging immature adult is dull olive green but over the course of a few hours, the abdomen becomes bright green, there is dark brown banding and the heads take on a metallic green sheen.
The name refers to the club-like widening of the end of the abdomen. This club is usually less pronounced in females and is entirely absent in some Clubtails.
Dragonflies are among the most ancient of living creatures. Fossil records go back to Carboniferous times which means that the insects were flying more than 300 million years ago, predating dinosaurs by over 100 million years and birds by approximately 150 million.
The northern mockingbird is known for its intelligence. A 2009 study showed that the bird was able to recognize individual humans, particularly noting those who had previously been intruders or threats.
Anhingas stalk fish underwater, mainly where there is some flora present. Once they locate their prey, they partly open their bill and stab the fish swiftly. Seen between the Enclaves and The Groves.
Anhinga species are found all over the world in warm shallow waters. Seen near The Enclaves in RiverTown, St Johns, Florida
