The Pelican Island Audubon Society enjoyed a guided bus tour of Adams Ranch on Saturday, January 21, 2006. The ranch has grown to one of the largest in the United States since its beginning in 1937. The ranch is also noted for its land management and conservation methods which give priority to the natural plants and wildlife of the area. |

A fine example of the cattle raised on the ranch. |

A shy Red-shouldered Hawk flies for cover as the bus passes by. |

On the other hand, this baby Alligator didn't seem to mind being watched. |

A number of Eastern Meadowlarks were viewed quite close to the bus at one stop. |
