JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — One of the many joys of life on the First Coast is the wildlife. Living in harmony with nature. What a beautiful way to live; at one with nature.
And then it literally comes to live with you.
That's what's happening at First Coast News. Right here in the parking lot. Near the front door.
Although these two parents-to-be are far from a welcoming committee.
As mom sits upon her eggs near some shrubbery, dad looks on taking strong offense to anyone who attempts to approach. This guy will chase a car if it gets too close.
They're downright nasty.
Try if you will to take a closer gander (*pun intended), they're coming for you, wings outstretched, mouth wide open with a quick waddle that lets you know they're not making a threat, but a promise.
Our team put some orange cones around them for their safety, and ours. We also put up a live camera so we, and you, can safely watch nature take its course.
And as you watch, please say a prayer for the UPS driver, FedEx, Amazon and any vendor as they approach the front door.
