Danielle and I loved to hear the lizards scurrying in the bushes and flowers every time we were outside. One night at dinner we watched 5 huge ones climb up a tree across the bank.
We found this tree frog hiding in the plant. He's much larger than the ones we have here. Doesn't he look happy? ;)
Ron's dad took me to a bird rehab center to see a spoonbill that often hunts for food in the nearby marsh. He and his hunting buddy the wood stork aren't residents of the rehab center, but we were lucky enough to catch them looking for their dinner.
The cormorant happily followed Dad along the boardwalk.
These owls have a nest on an osprey platform close to the ocean. I didn't get to see anyone in the nest, but these two were perched nearby. One of the owls carried a white rat around in its talons. (Look at those huge feet!) I think it was waiting for us to leave so it could feed it to the babies in the nest.
Brown pelicans and a snowy egret at Robbie's, where we fed the tarpon one afternoon. (I'll post pictures from that another day.)
