February 17, 2010 Merritt Island NWR

Way cool I caught about a dozen brown pelicans diving at one of the briny creeks at Merritt Island

OK even cooler I caught this osprey on the beach, at least that is what I believe it is, this is as close as I could get before it flew away, a big big bird

We did a 6 mile nature walk through the marsh, lots of birds





black vulture-slightly smaller than his cousin the turkey vulture, not quite as ugly either since his bald head is black























Ah another opportunity to take a lighthouse photo, this is Ponce Inlet Lighthouse in Florida, taken on the day we drove over to the Merritt Island National Wildlife refuge, took photos of several other birds not here but most of those are photos of herons and anhingas and other ducks I've already got photos of. Merritt Island was donated by NASA and you can see it across the inland waterways of the NWR
