After leaving Osceola we stopped at Olustee Battlefield
State Park for a short walk around the battlefield. This hike takes you through
a nice old forest with interpretive signs about the battle. There are a lot of
fence lizards on the fallen trees and logs around the park.

Brown anoles (invasive species) are more common around the
building. The staff at the park are very knowledgeable and incredibly
friendly. They helped me look for more
reptiles and birds then sent us on our way with some recommendations for auto
repairs and some canned food.
Overall the park was fantastic spot for reptiles (although
not the greatest season for it currently) and woodpeckers. One of my favorites was a turtle that was seen
by Jim (one of the park staff) from a distance as just a moving glisten on the
grass.
