Eastern Gray Squirrels at Kingsley Plantation (Timucuan Ecological & Historic Preserve - Jacksonville, Florida) - July 28, 2016

            Beautiful visit to the Kingsley Plantation on Fort George Island in Jacksonville, Florida.  This is part of the beautiful Timucuan Ecological & Historic Preserve that I visited during my trip to Jacksonville for the Barbie Convention (I am the Logistics Manager for Paintbox Designs - aka - my wife).  Was excited to see eastern gray squirrels at the plantation - one clearly had a tumor on his back.  Seemed to be doing just fine.  Another brilliant day in a National Park.  About the Plantation (from the NPS site: "During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, many people came to Florida. Some, like Zephaniah Kingsley, sought to make their fortunes by obtaining land and establishing plantations. Others were forced to come to Florida to work on those plantations, their labor providing wealth to the people who owned them. Some of the enslaved would later become free landowners, struggling to keep their footing in a dangerous time of shifting alliances and politics. All of these people played a part in the history of Kingsley Plantation."
