Everyone was after this yummy snack rolling around on the beach.
Other birds were going after their usual snacks including the sandwich tern and great egret above. I think that egret had a tough time getting that fish down.
A fisherman had pulled up this tiny fish and left it on the pier so this great blue heron tiptoed up and grabbed it.
The usual birds at the fishing pier at Fort Desoto park.
A few female red breasted mergansers were swimming along the shoreline.
It’s the unofficial summer season kickoff this weekend. Although here in Florida that started months ago. I probably won’t be at the beach today since we tend to stay away on big holidays and avoid the crowds.
Amazing photos.
Aaaaah….if, if, if only I was near the ocean.
I would go down and lay in the sand, listen to the surf, breathe in the salt air, and reflect.
But alas, I am not there.
All great photos but the bird captures with the fish in their beaks are especially great!
