James E Grey Preserve in New Port Richey




We visited this Preserve in New Port Richey, not too far from where we live, several years ago. Many enhancements occurred over the years, and a friend encouraged us to visit again. We took some visitors there earlier in the year and recently returned for a longer hike. This visit, we walked the loop consisting of the boardwalk and dirt trail along the water.

As we walked along, listening to the birds and just enjoying the day, we realized the flock of small birds caught up with us. We stopped, and watched as the raced back and forth pursuing bugs and the best perch. 

A Blue-gray Gnatcatcher peered at me from a leafy branch, and a Yellow rumped warbler in its Autumn coloring posed just exposing the patch of yellow that gives it that name.
