A quiet morning along the waterways

It's Sunday morning, the air is still and heavy with humidity, I go for a quick stroll along the shores to see who else is awaking.

Along the East End of Sanibel beaches - the Snowy Plovers are happily feeding.

Along the Causeway several Magnificent Frigatebirds were seen catching the air currents.

The Ospreys were busy gathering fresh material for their nest.

Remnants from the previous day - they made me take a moment for reflection.

Native beach/dune sunflowers are plentiful along the Causeway Island - to me they reflect happiness and joy.

A Great Blue Heron - a regular visitor along the Causeway - note his bright plumage.

I'm ready to start my day now, thanks for being here.

Osprey's bath time

There's a front coming through and I'm patiently waiting for the migrants to drop - in the mean time, I decided to cruise along the Causeway to see what is going on and to observe the birds in the rain. 

Apparently the rain showers is not sufficient for a deep clean - a bath seems to be in order as well.

The wind was picking up quite a bit and several times she landed on her butt when she tried to shake the water off.

"I think I'm pretty clean now - time for lift off".
