On the Indian River at 12:54. After a Saturday morning at work.
Dolphin
Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, on the Gulf coast, where I am this weekend(Aug 2), may be more famous, but the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge more than holds its own with the number and diversity of wildlife.
Feeding time
I read on the Ding Darling FB page that there are only 260 nesting pairs of reddish egrets in Florida.
Which surprised me as I see so many at Mullet Head.
Another reddish egret
I wonder if white pelican chicks are brown.Swimming
I know it was not wading
Could see it kicking.
Back towards shore, into the side canals to look for manatees
Found a couple.
And, fiddler crabs.
To Bairs Cove for more manatees
Mosquito Lagoon

Landed at 4:45
I have been driving past the Bio Lab boat ramp for 25 years. Checked it out for the first time.A bumpy road to beaten up ramp
Launch towers. I need to find out if these are active. It would be a great spot to view a launch. Or maybe these are just communication towers.
On to Black Point Wildlife Drive.
Nesting stilt
Close up. Lizard.

I think this was at a red light.
I know this was at the Publix on Orlando Ave. in Winter Park
