You might be wondering if I'm turning a new leaf since I'm starting my blog with spiders these days, well, fear not....I would venture to say that this is a very temporary distraction until the birds return to our area.
Well, take a good look at this!
 |
| I wasn't sure what kind of spider this was - I searched and googled but came up empty handed, what's a girl to do?? So, FB came to my rescue - specifically Energetic Ding Darling Ranger, Becky Larkins. Becky, who is temporarily in Alaska, graciously took time to name this lovely spider (lovely!!...that is if you like spiders). I present to you a "Brown Widow Spider". |
 |
| This spider is not native to the U.S. and for decades only lived in peninsular Florida - it has since spread and can be found from Texas to S.Carolina, urban Los Angeles & San Diego...yikes, that's a lot of territory. I'm not crazy about spiders - I'd much prefer to stick with sea turtles and birds....talking about birds..... |
 |
| A dark morph of the Reddish Egret was leisurely preening while watching the fishermen on the pier by the Lighthouse. |
 |
| Not too far away, a younger version was spotted... |
 |
| being curious and watching a Snowy. |
 |
| Just a teenager - fully grown yet so young. |
Well, folks, a bit quiet along the sea shore - but peaceful and lovely as ever. Go Outdoors .... life is short. By E-Bird List today.
