At the end of April Brett and I were out on the bay waterfront in St Pete for a long walk. We started out near North Shore Park and walked towards the pier.
We passed all of the sailboats at the marina and noticed a lot of boats for sale.
It was too early for the restaurant and bar on the top floor to have customers so we climbed up the back stairs and was able to walk around on the top.
The view from the top looking straight, looking north towards the small airport and then looking right from where we had started.
The back view at the top looking out on the bay.
On the way back I noticed some flashes of orange and blue flying across the park. I was wondering if they were escaped pets but then I saw the girl with the bird stand calling out to them. She brings them out to the park to get flight time in and they are trained to come back to her.
Videos of them flying free around the park.
They came back when she called them. I guess she’s pretty confident they won’t go flying off and not come back. I guess it’s the treats that will always bring them back. She’s had them for many years. You just never know what you’ll see out here.
Beautiful shots.
Awesome videos of the birds. I’m amazed they don’t take off for parts unknown. Beautiful sky shots!
Amazing to see that those beautiful birds return when called. I’ve only seen that with raptors. Loved the videos!
Wow! What a fun sight to see the colorful parrots fly by like that and return to their owner. Thye looksed exhuberant and I would feel the same watching them!
I love the views of the boats, the waterscapes with the city and the open ocean. Those videos of the birds are the star of the show. Imagine training birds to come back to you.
Beautiful sky shots.
That’s my idea of a peaceful day! Walking along the water, etc. And the parrots are so pretty!
What a beautiful day. Relaxing atmosphere.
