Roseate Spoonbill on Bird Island yesterday.

Must look good for breeding season.

Great Blue Heron.

Big feet on that bird.

We borrowed a boat from our boat club in Manatee Pocket yesterday and took a ride up the Indian River Lagoon to the rookery just off Sewall’s Point known as Bird Island.

It is Wood Stork nesting season. They appear to still be building nests. I have not seen chicks yet.

The Snowy Egrets are in breeding plumage and acting flirty.

Showing off.

I have never seen them like this.

Always surprising the variety of breeds sharing space on this island.

My sister and brother-in-law were in town and we all watched birds from the boat.

Incoming Wood Stork.

A rather skull-like head.

Wood Stork with wings up.

Roseate Spoonbill again.

Lots of Brown Pelicans on the island now too.
