Again, you're really making me want to see FL - for us the rain would be a treat, at least for awhile :-) The ring-necked duck and the spiky haired anhinga are so funny looking. Sort of like comic relief for the rest of their more serious looking pals.

That first white pelican looked a little scruffy, but later pictures showed why. I love the way the white pelicans fish together. They are so beautiful and one of my favorite birds.<br /><br />Glad you got back before you got too wet. I think all of Florida got the rain. We got buckets of rain here in the Keys on Friday night....and we rode it out in a tiki hut! :)<br /><br />So many places to return to in this area.
