Fort DeSoto Park (visit #2) - St. Petersburg, FL

Since I have written about Fort DeSoto several times and once this winter, I am not going to write much about my second visit to the area this winter.  This visit was in late February.  I will just post some pictures that I took with a few comments.

I love getting to North Beach, with a short walk through some woods.

Another day, same view but so foggy you can not see the water!A view from my bike on a foggy morning bike ride (the ocean is on the left) --

Limpken at Celery Fields –Great Blue Heron -

I would have loved the close up of the Heron below if I had not cut his/her beak off.  I was zoomed in too much when the wind was blowing and he opened is mouth and showed his tongue. I still like it, but I missed a really good shot.

Marbled Godwit (I think?) -

2 Great Horned Owl fledglings --

Tagged Oystercatcher --

A relaxing Skimmer.  I thought maybe it was dead at first, but I read that this is common and possibly how they relax.  TTri-Colored Heron –

2 Wood Storks.  Note how they sit, they are basically on their knees.  See their pinkish feet in front; interesting!!

Just in case you needed to know this !!!

From here, I headed up to the Panhandle.  I’ll blog about that soon.
