The snowy egrets are always putting on a show at the fishing pier. They are hanging around waiting for the fishermen to turn their backs on their bait buckets so they can steal the little minnows. Sometimes the fisherman will clean their fish on the pier and the egrets try to steal the scraps. There are signs saying not to throw the scraps in the water or to the birds but some people still do it. Then the ones that don’t are annoyed by the birds being aggressive.

A sting ray cruises by the pier in the shallow water.

Looks like he caught a little shark.

It was a beautiful morning to watch the big boats from the pier at Fort Desoto.
