This and That...

 We have been keeping busy.  We have spent a few days out with our real estate agent, looking at some different possibilities. We haven't found anything too exciting yet.


 We stopped by the Apollo Beach power plant to check on the manatee.  It was a cold day.
I could only get pictures of their backs because they did not keep their noses out of the water very long. It was good to see them.  The red tide in the area has taken a terrible toll on them this year.
  
We attended a birthday party for a friend.  It was really fun.
American bittern




We have been out to the local park to bike and have spent a lot of time walking around quail run.  We are seeing lots of birds.

We saw this bittern yesterday.  I have seen several Eastern Blue Birds and a Swallow tailed kite.  However, today's sighting is the best so far...

We were surprised to see two youngsters.  We both thought cranes only hatched one of their eggs.  They are so cute...

Tomorrow we are going on a boat ride and Sunday we are going to Tarpon Springs for an Art festival and some Greek food. 



The End!

  3. Guess I've missed something. Are you thinking of getting off of the road?

    Two chicks is good news. Hope they both make it!

  4. Wow did you see the bittern at quail run?? That's a lot of great birds. There were two pretty native sandhills at Quail Run last year all summer. I didn't know you were thinking of permanent real estate either.

  5. The threat of the red tide makes me feel ill thinking about how it hurts the manatees. Such beautiful animals that are so impacted by man's thoughtlessness. :c(

    Cute little cranes, great pictures, must have been a real thrill to see them! :c)
