Disney 2006

Since this page is on the Hudson River Audubon web site, we need a few nature pictures first! (hey you might learn something!). Disney photo's are just below.

 
Marsh Rabbit (Sylvilagus palustris) at the Pop Century. It is a darker version and different species than the New England Cottontail (Sylvilagus transitionalis), found in the Hudson Valley and north into New England and the quite similar Eastern Cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus), found through much of the eastern US.

 

  
Oak Toad found one morning at Pop Century.
 
Fence Lizards were abundant but difficult to photograph

 

  
Bull Headed Dung Beetle (Onthophagus taurus)
(hey, its a cool bug!)
                 
White Ibis are wild birds found in Florida. 		  
They act like New York pigeons.

    Kelli and I, along with both our mothers, many of Kelli and her sister's relatives, and a few friends, 22 in all, enjoyed a week in Orlando, Florida. We all stayed at the Pop Century, Disney's latest motel complex. We stayed in the fifties decade area, complete with a bowling pin shaped swimming pool.


    Most of the time was spent in Disney. Kelli, my mother, a friend of ours Bill, and myself went to Seaworld one day. Kelli's nephews, Michael and Rich, and I spent a great day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventures, riding roller coasters all day.
