Florida Trip: Part FOUR (otherwise known as Florida is for the birds!)

Florida is for the Birds.

Literally.

I love the birds there...and it is part of the reason I go there.

I am smitten with ALL of the tropical birds and shore birds I see.

To today, I will focus on some shots of them.


Like most folks, the Pelican is one of my favorites.
I am happy to report that after the Gulf oilspill crisis,
we did see a LOT of them again..healthy and beautiful:








I wanted to wrap  him up and take him home.
(But I rather doubt he would like my upper Michigan weather!):


















I wanted to PET him!:








And, even though beach folks think the seagulls are pesky, I really like them!:









Look at those BLUE peepers! Sigh.  I am in LOVE!:









Another Pelican beauty:









Reflecting seagulls:








I think these are Sandpipers:

I loved how they ran scattered on the waves' edge and back....
kind of like ME (only cuter).

Stay tuned, there will be plenty more photos from the Sunshine State
to make you long for spring and summer in your neck of the woods!!
