Choctawhatchee River

New Interest: boating and birding on the Choctawhatchee River and Holmes Creek - outside of New Hope, FL.

I'm fortunate to have outstanding parents. I didn't always think so, but now in my 40's I have enough real world knowledge to KNOW that I do.

My dad called this morning to inform the 4 of us kids that he bought each of us a lot close to one of the aforementioned rivers. It is a financial move, but all can be used for camping, boating, fishing, birding and the like. Mine has running water and a septic tank.

Picture is from photobucket of a Hooded Merganser. I've seen these during the spring of the year often in my parent's pond outside of Chipley, FL. They're diving ducks. I love water birds!
