We drove over to the beach with our picnic and snacks (and water)packed in the ice chest to spend the day!
And it was gorgeous! Perfect weather….80s with a light breeze, nice and cool blowing off the ocean.
We walked and walked, picking up pretty shells. (I’ll show you those later) We don’t carry a camera on the beach for obvious reasons. (we usually get WET! lol)
But hubby had his phone with him and snapped off a few pics to share. He’s been enjoying your sweet comments on his photos. (me too!)
These are Willets
and these are Sanderlings.
That’s our best shore bird ID guess!
I stood on the boardwalk and took these of a pretty seagull that flew over and then landed nearby.
I know I was ‘leaning’ looking up!
He was so nice to stop and pose for me!
He looked rather comical.
Maybe showing off for the camera?
What do you think?
Canaveral National Seashore
…one of the things we like best about Florida!
(this is the photo hubby took with his phone and I cropped for my new banner)
I’m joining Saturday’s critters HERE
and I’d Rather B Birdin’.

Hello, I love the beach and the Canaveral Seashore. Pretty captures of the Willets and Sanderlings and the Gulls. Looks like a great day to be at the beach! Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Thanks also for the comment on my post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
Those Willets are really wonderful. So is that beach!
Can not wait for summer to go to the beach!
I can see the seagulls every day, but I also want to hear the sound of the sea, to taste the salt air and of course to swim!
Have a great weekend!
Hugs!
The weather looks delightful and I love all of the pictures. The one makes a great header for your blog.
Fun!
Great photo, too
Have a wonderful weekend!
i love to watch all of these sea birds running to and fro and wading/fishing/soaring.. the peace just flows from the water and sunshine and the noise the gulls make is peaceful to me also.. that gull is really showing off for the camera
Beach birds make me smile! I love to watch them. Good photos Sis!!
I think he WAS posing for you. I took a stroll on the beach this week as well. The Canaveral area is so pretty!!! Definitely one of the best things about Florida. The photos are great.
Wonderful shots of the birds on the beach. I enjoy the ocean, but haven't been in a couple of years. I think I need to plan a trip.
Diane, One day I expect you and your husband to print up a bird book. You sure know a lot about them. I love the little birds darting in and out of the water ...the seas must be bringing them some food. Blessings to you and your hubby , xoxo, Susie
That bird is struttin. Love your hubby's pictures and yours too. With this you made me miss the ocean.
...this beach bum wishes he was there!
Great photos of the sand, water, and birds. What a beautiful place to walk.
The beach, or any beach, is my favorite place on earth! Love the great sights and the shore birds. They are funny, but watch out for your sandwich. Little thieves they are! ♥
Gorgeous shore and beach shots!
Happy Weekend,

Great photos, I think the seagull ones are my favorites. He definitely looks like he's posing for you!
Love all those beach photos--can't believe I live this close to the beach and can't get there very often--my friend and I almost went to day--until we looked at how rough the river was and how hard the wind was blowing --and decided it was not a great beach day-
Hubby takes nice photos with his camera--thanks--
enjoy,di
That beach and the Canaveral Seashore look great, and I like your new banner photograph.
Great shots of the seagull, he looks a great character!
Enjoy your weekend.
All the best Jan
Looks and sounds like the perfect day!
Gorgeous beach shots! Such a beautiful place. Love the birds too.
LOVE the new banner! (That's for your hubby ...)
Of COURSE the seagull is posing ... with a little bit of prancing mixed in! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Yep. Sanderlings and Willets. And if I'm not mistaken, a Ring-billed Gull. Shame you didn't see the owl but keep trying.
You just can't beat spending time on the beach on such a perfect day!! Beautiful!
I'm sending my thanks to you for sharing your blog photos with us bird lovers this weekend. It's our privilege to visit you from I'd Rather B Birdin'!!
Someone has to live here. Might as be us.
I would enjoy walking along shore line. The pictures sure are pretty.
I will check out those shoes. Thanks.
I would love to come for a visit. This looks like a perfect place. I do like Mr. Seagull. What a silly.

It was a perfect day for you!
Love this!!! Perfect beach weather and perfect pictures of your day there.
Happy spring ....love from me Ria x ❤️
I saw a seagull flying over the house the other day. It was amazing. It means the lakes are thawing!

You had great temperatures to be at the shore today. I walked across the street to visit my neighbor who has returned from spending winter in Florida. She is not happy with our weather here. It has snowed three times since she came home. "Be patient," I told her. Hot weather will be here before we know it. Enjoy your weather!
Yep...it was really nice of him to pose for you. Great shots.
love to see the vaders. As I live inland I don´t see many of them :( Love your beach with wildlife!
The Willets were my favorites to watch on our morning beach walks.
