Rock Springs Run

Haulover Canal

The marine forcast called for smooth seas on the Intracostal Waterway, so I made another attempt to see, and photo, the flaminngos at Mullet Head Island.

On the water at 12:55.

Towing may be how this guy motors his sailboat as I did not see an outboard on the stern.

Mullett Head Island

I counted 20 flamingos.

Wekiva River

A spoonbil flew by, upstream, as prepared to launch.

On the River at 12:38. Headed up stream to see if I could find the spoonbill, but it was too shallow in the alternate channel.

Haulover Canal

The flamingos are back! I last saw the flamingos that Hurricane Idalia blew in a couple years ago last June or July. Last week, I saw a post, with photos on the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge Facebook page. Unfortunately, the marine weather has been more condusive for kite flying then kayaking. Until today, when a light chop was forecast.

Into Haulover Canal from Bairs Cove at 12:30.
