I took this picture to get the osprey, brown pelicans, and roseate spoonbill in the same shot. It is the opener because I accidentally captured something I have wanted to get for a long time. A pelican with its neck stretched, beak open. Mullet Head Island.
I had to work this Saturday morning. See the prior post for the reason why. Clocked out at 11:43, stop at Publix for a Cuban. Question, is it really a Cuban if not pressed?
On the Indian River, with a dolphin, and manatee at 12:59.
No manatee picture

The next island. Too far to go. I turned around.

Thought of another visit to Mullet Head. But, it was getting late and a few sprinkles began to fall.
Landed at 5:10
A bobcat ran across the dirt road on the way out

LOVED the "Landed at 5:10" shot! Beautiful.
So, are there any manatees that do NOT have boat scars on them???? I don't think I remember ever seeing one that didn't have some kind of boat tattoo.
Also, you, like Luis, must be a "spoonie magnet" because you always seem to find them! Jealous!
Easy to take a good shot standing on shore.
I may have seen an unscarred manatee. They are rare.
My best spoonbill find was one at a retention pond at work.
