Hello,
During one of our overnight trips we were close to Flagler Beach for a sunrise and a nice walk. This beach is on Florida's east coast, 20 miles north of Daytona Beach. I captured a beautiful sunrise and I included some birds seen nearby.
I am guessing that these are the Royal Tern below. It has the shaggy short crest.
Another guess, the Herring Gull, they have pink legs and feet.
A view of the beach, gulls and ocean.
Brown Pelicans floating with a fishing boat in the distance.
I may do another post with photos from this day, we went to Daytona Beach and the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse just down the road.
My thankful list:
I am thankful to see a beautiful sunrise.
I am thankful I am able to travel some during my retirement years.
I am thankful for all the wonderful comments on my blog post.
Thank you for your visit and comments on my post. Enjoy your day and the weekend ahead!
