Can you believe that this great blue heron just maneuvered his fishing boat up to the dock ... and I have some swampland here in Florida to sell you?
Fishing from a tight rope is tricky, but the truly graceful can manage. Alas! those fish are never safe.
You'll have to take my word that this is a bald eagle. She was so annoyed that we had invaded her territory that she went to her branch and refused to speak to us. 
A pelican always reminds me of pterodactyls. I love them: they are totally fascinating in the the air, in the sea ... even on land, although they do walk with a waddle.
They have a wing span of about 7 feet, fly in formation, and often dive into the water en masse to attack a hapless school of fish although, as we have seen, they can also be shameless beggars when there are free fish to be had. There are always flocks of them following the crab boats.

I LOVE pelicans. And eagles are always amazing. Hoping to see some flamingos too?
Probably not, but maybe some roseate spoonbills.
