Vero Lake: Living in the Country here in Florida

I love seeing all the wildlife around my house. Each day I see turtles, cardinals, blue jays, squirrels, etc. Yesterday I saw the pair of sand hill cranes again. They make a very loud screeching noise. They are very graceful creatures! The other day I saw this turtle again, I see him often, he goes in the road and all, a guy on the bike was screaming and cussing about the overbuilding here, as they are building new houses down the road and doing a lot of backhoe work, he feels bad for the turtles being displaced as do I. It is sad. I have seen so many eagles and owls here, but they keep cutting down more of their habitat and where will they be able to live soon?  While it is nice to live in the country, it is worrisome to see so much of the woods and animal habitat being taking down to build more houses, too bad they wouldn't put a moratorium on it for a while. We really are enjoying all the wildlife here and are grateful to God for all the visits from all of God's creatures ea...

  The poor eagles, bunnies, turtles, birds, owls have no where to go here where I live. They are cutting down all their habitat faster and faster and the poor animals are being displaced. It is sad that we do that to our wildlife here just to build more houses for humans. Why can't we set aside some woods in all blocks for the animals? It is so sad to see so many animals like this big eagle on this new house. They are clearing the land nearby and took down all the woods where tis guy lived. I saw him come in and out of there each day. I wish that are so called leaders could do more in our neighborhood to protect the wildlife here and prevent so much growth and development. Praying for the poor animals that call VLE their home who are being displaced.
