We always check the tide chart before we drive out to the Gulf of Mexico and on this particular day, the lowest tide was at noon.
Perfect! All of these sandbars will be covered with water when the tide comes in.
But for now....
a glimpse at how many birds are out there!
The Pelicans seem to be having a conversation.
Or is it an argument? lol
We drive along the canal on a dirt road for 4 miles before we reach the Gulf.
Great White Egret, Snowy Egret and Tri-colored Heron
And we had never seen so many birds along the banks of the canal and in the water.
I think this is a Bonaparte's Gull.
Hubby was driving and some of these were taken from inside the truck!
Snowy Egret and Tri-colored Heron
And then some of my favs!
A Stork fishing for his dinner!
He looked a bit comical with all his twists and turns!
Just one more before we have to walk away!
We saw a wonderful variety of shorebirds!
And now to share my favorite photo of the day!
Great Blue Heron
It was hard to pick a favorite!
