Here are some pictures of shore birds, from our vacation on Longboat Key, FL (West coast on the Gulf of Mexico, near Sarasota). Hope you enjoy!

Blue Heron - He was our companion all week.

Same blue heron - this guy caught a small fish, and threw it back, but the heron grabbed it before it could get away. Smart heron, this seems to be a much more efficient way to eat Big Grin
