What a beautiful day this turned out to be - the mild temperature, the brilliant sun and the clear blue sky - makes for a perfect Florida day. A nice group (20 or so) gathered up and then ventured out onto the flats to observed many species.
The highlight of the day was a Bonaparte's Gull
 |
| I wondered if this gull ever sits still because every time that I watched it, it was on the go with a fast pace. |
 |
| Several Wilson Plovers were seen - this one got caught with his mouth full. |
 |
| and so was this little guy |
 |
| A nice looking bunch of fine folks if you ask me. |
 |
| A Snowy Egret in the beginning state of breeding colors/plumage and a Least Sandpiper in the background. |
 |
| A White Ibis in breeding colors - look how bright that is. |
 |
| Trying to show off his hair-do, but no one paid attention |
 |
| oh well, nothing tried, nothing gained. |
 |
| Some go the extra depth to capture our feathered friends |
 |
| A Little Blue in breeding |
 |
| One breeding, one not |
 |
| Green Heron - blending in |
 |
| A flock of Snowy Egrets |
 | |
| "Farewell" said the Red-winged Blackbird, "Come back soon, I'll tell you more." Here is my e-bird list for today http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S17441121 |
