A visit to Ding Darling seems to be in order - a great idea if I must say so myself especially since it's raining on and off - come along and see what I had the opportunity to watch this morning.
 |
| The tide was outgoing and the drizzling seems to be welcomed by my feathered friends. |
 |
| White Pelicans among a Reddish Egret and a Roseate Spoonbill |
 |
| As I was watching the sand bars - a dozen + brown birds were coming close to me....Red Knots in their winter plumage as well as Short-billed Dowitchers and a Dunlin (see below). |
 |
| The Reddish Egret can be seen sporting his solar powered antenna - I wonder what kind of messages it sends when it is raining all day. |
 |
| More White Pelicans, Yellowleg and Willets. |
 |
| A single Least Sandpiper - the smallest of them all and it has yellow legs. |
 |
| "Hey" Listen up! I've got a story to tell you! |
 |
| "Hey, Is anybody listening?" |
 |
| "Don't leave - I'm not done yet." |
 |
| "Oh my goodness, maybe it's my breath!" |
 |
| "That should do it." |
 |
| "Where did everybody go?" |
 |
| "Ummm, I think it's just me and you kid." |
 |
| Down the road a bit - a Spotted Sandpiper |
 |
| Much further down the road.... |
 |
| A Yellow-crowned Night Heron seen swallowing a mangrove crab. |
I'll wave good bye for now and I urge you to come back very soon - see my spots, there are more to come. Stay dry!
