Dead Wood Duck, Deer Lake State Park, FL

Walking on the bike path beside the road through Deer Lake, we found a beautiful dead Wood Duck on 2006-10-31. I returned to photograph it a few days later and found it still there, still beautiful. Recently on separate occasions, we had seen a Cottonmouth snake, traffic-flattened snake skins, and a dead raccoon in the same location.

Look for more views of this area at number 8 on the Deer Lake State Park map page.
