As the new blogger for the Florida State Parks system, I have been travelling to different state parks to describe what it’s like to visit them for the first time. Usually I’m on the look-out for different bird species, but at Hillsborough River State Park outside of Tampa, it was the lizards that really caught my attention! They were everywhere, jumping ahead of us on the trail, scampering in the leaves, and barreling up tree trunks.
