Busy weekend so only time for a quick morning stop at Fort Desoto. Not a lot of activity but I made the best of what I found. The highlights were an Osprey flying down the beach with a fish, a couple Snowy Egrets fishing along the shoreline and a cute little Box Turtle.

Not a bad picture in the bunch. Great pictures of birds and their reflections, birds wrapping their feathers around their mate, birds with one of two fish in their mouth. I am sure it was for his or her girlfriend or spouse and a bird standing on a public “no swimming” swim which I am sure he or she violated many times. Good for him. Ì love the box turtle.
Always enjoy every photo ! Amazing job !
Once again great photos.
