Today, late afternoon
Dusk
- did I mention, that now, end December, we have almost NO SNOW!
These 2 came down the frozen creek, right below our living room window
Until we found a camera they were far down the creek and it was toooo dark to get good pics....
But
What a sight!

Wow! How wonderful
I saw dolphins today. Also lots of pelicans and cormorants and other birds. But I got some very blurry dolphin pics to share. One is of a single dolphin - you can see him pretty clearly. The other is a mother and a calf. You can just see the mother's fin, head-on, and then next to it, the baby's face.
It was a grey, overcast day, which made the Atlantic even more grey than usual, but it was still a nice afternoon to go on a boat ride - cool but not cold, and not much wind.

Cool! I love vultures (I know a lot of people don't, but they are pretty awesome)
Today I saw bobcats, a cougar, baby alligators, an albino snake, gopher tortoises, and lots of beautiful birds, at a nature center near here. I fell in love with that albino snake! She was so pretty.

And today, I saw a semi-tamed crow flying to a woman's shoulder for potato chips! The woman said she's been friends with this crow for many many years - it lives free but comes to her for treats. It was a beautiful bird, so glossy and sleek.
edited to add picture - not the one I saw, but like this.

Like the Willy wagtail - they've been known to harass Eagles. Years ago a wagtail in my vege garden routinely attacked a one legged crow that loved to browse amongst the bugs in the morning. The wagtail ALWAYS made the crow leave. It was so delightful to watch. Where I am now our resident Wagtail keeps our cats under control by dive-bombing them whenever they get too suspicious-looking. It's a total joy to see
Our willy wagtails just hatched babies, it was so fun to watch them find each other, (young couple) find a place to build, build and now have babies .. was great till my 3yr tried to climb up to PAT the babies .. Holy mother on earth, did those WWT go NUTS, dive bombing and what not .. NO willy wagtail was hurt.. my son got a sore butt when he fell from the added.
