Sebring, Florida is known for its famous Sebring Raceway and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Racers from all around the world just descended on the small city of 10,000 people to drive in the annual event. The race is part of the prestigious IMSA sports car series.
Sebring is surrounded by thousands of acres of agricultural land including citrus groves, blueberry farms and cattle pastures. It’s a great area to see many different species of wildlife, especially crested caracaras.
On a recent visit we enjoyed the fragrant blossoms of citrus trees that were flowering with oranges still on the stems. And we were also successful in finding caracaras. One juvenile bird stayed within 30 feet of us as he tried to figure out how to carry away an armadillo carcass. He finally gave up and flew off but not before giving some nice photo opportunities.
A few more pictures from this journey are featured below. For a larger selection of photos, go to the galleries listed.
