It was a beautiful morning in early September. I was at Fort Desoto looking for the flamingoes again. I had made 2 trips out already and had only seen 1 each time. I had heard there were several here the day before.
Again, I found one at the north beach tip and it took me a while to hike out near it. I snapped a few shots and it took off over the trees. They don’t stay long in the lagoon here.
I headed over to the fishing pier before leaving and caught the boat rush hour traffic.
A manatee made a brief appearance near the pier with only his snout coming up for air.
I found some of these cool sea creatures in the shallow water.
