Another Saturday morning walk at the Fort Desoto fishing pier

I caught this kestrel flying over my head.

He flew over to the top of a pine tree.

Then a frigatebird flew close to the pier.

A juvenile hawk.  He let me get pretty close.

The young reddish egret is still hanging around the pier. I’m beginning to wonder if this is a hybrid of some sort. Is it an offspring of a reddish egret and a white morph reddish egret?

The osprey  couple that nests near the Fort were hanging around together. If this warm weather keeps up this December, nesting season will be starting much earlier this year.

A usual sight at the pier. A big boat passing the lighthouse at Egmont Key.

Just another perfect day at the beach. SkyWatch Friday
