I had several trips up the Silver River this week, departing from the Ray Wayside Park, just east of Ocala. The wildlife there is in a word, abundant.
On our trip Tuesday, February 17, we spotted Wood Storks, River Otters, Night Herons, and over 50 Rhesus Monkeys, along with the usual Gators and Fishes.
Yes, Mother Nature is alive and well on the Silver River.
