Cedar Key, Tuesday

I usually have to walk out to the beach to see the sun rise.  But, the February sunrise is visible from the 331 balcony. Out of bed at 7:08.

There were more spoonbills, but they flew off as I paddled through the mangroves

 

 

 

 Last chance for dolphins.  Saw none.  So, just alligator, bear, deer, otters, manatees, bald eagles, white pelicans, roseate spoonbills, and more, over 4 days.
