I am sharing various birds, like the  Brown Pelican, Great Egrets, Snowy Egret and a Great Blue Heron seen during our Sunset Beach visit back in November. These were all seen in a little park called Sunset Beach Park, it had a little trail and some fishing piers we could walk out on.

Brown Pelican resting on a dock. Snooze time, it was a chilly morning too.

Three's a crowd, Great Egrets.

I always enjoy seeing the egrets and herons.

I am sharing some more images from our visit to Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge in Delaware. I have blogged many times on our various visits to Bombay Hook NWR, it is one of my favorite places to see the birds and view wildlife. I hope you enjoy my photos.

On this day we arrived at the wildlife refuge early in the morning since we spent the night in Dover Delaware. We were able to see 5-6 Clapper Rails with some chicks.

We saw lots of Egrets, some Snowy Egrets, Great Egrets and there may be the juvenile Little Blue Heron too.

The Green Heron posed nicely on the fence for me.

The first Clapper Rail sighting at the beginning of the wildlife drive.

Another adult Clapper Rail with a cute chick. Their chicks are black in color.

There are two Clapper Rail chicks above, it is great to be there during the low tide to see these secretive birds come out of the grasses looking for food.

The Great Egret above with it's yellow bill and black legs. It is one of the taller egrets.

Not the clearest shot, but I think this Fox was cute that came out and sat on the wildlife drive as we went past.

These are some images from our visit to the TECO (Tampa Electric Co) Manatee Viewing center and the nearby Apollo Beach.

Yellow-crowned Night Heron, it looks like it is surrounded by sudsy water. Not sure what the foamy white stuff is, not snow. Whatever it is, it comes out of the TECO plant.

The cold weather or water temps drop in Florida, the manatee arrive at the Teco Plant.

Hi everyone, are you ready for Christmas? In case my blogging friends are away this holiday week, I wish everyone a blessed Merry Christmas.

On Nov 4th,  hubby and I visited the Fort De Soto Park in Pinellas County Florida. Most of the birds were far away, even for my super zoom Canon SX40.

A snowy Egret and a Great Egret wading into the Gulf of Mexico.

A large group of Terns with some Brown Pelicans on a sandbar in the gulf. 

We saw numerous Brown Pelicans near the beach and pier.

A couple of gulls and Pelicans. I love the beachy colors on the photo below, the pretty blue waters and sand.

 Below possibly a Willet and in the distance a Great Blue Heron and a gull?

White Pelicans

Below is distant look at various Terns and a large group of Black Skimmers.

A view from the pier, the pelicans and terns in flight.

On the pier the Snowy Egrets are catching some free food from the fishermen.

As always thanks for the visits and the nice comments. I also thank everyone who is linking up and sharing their critters.. Happy Saturday, have a great weekend!

My critter post is all about the birds, below are the Palm Warblers.

Common Moorhen and or Purple Gallinule , this photo looks much better if you click for the larger version.

Not the best shot, the birds were further away. But, I thought it was cool to see the Wood Stork, Snowy Egret and White Ibis all together in the neighborhood.

Two Snowy Egrets, Anhinga and a Great Egret

The neighborhood Snowy Egrets, there maybe a juvenile white Little Blue Heron mixed in.

I hope you enjoyed my birds this week. As always thanks for the visits and the nice comments. I also thank everyone who is linking up and sharing their critters.. Happy Saturday, have a great weekend!
