Haulover Canal

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.

Lake Norris

Into Blackwater Creek at the Lake Norris Conservation Area at 12:

55Baby gators on the right bank. Mama may have dove under my kayak a few minutes prior.
