Springtime is Showing Signs of Reappearing...

To continue, it was a beautiful, quiet, spring morning. I took advantage, and drove over to the islands to scout out for birds. While walking along one new trail, I happened upon an elusive [uncommon] bird in our vicinity. Excitement and a lot of snapping of the shutter button occurred, up until it disappeared into the overgrowth beyond where I could walk [we are supposed to stay on the trails in order to keep the landscape in pristine condition for the wildlife]. At another stop, I saw that at last, the repair work for the damaged jetty that broke to pieces during the hurricane a couple summers ago... allowing salt water to flow into the fresh water lake at Charlie's Pasture [another wildlife refuge]. Soon? Perhaps in another year's time, they will once again have access for us to walk the boardwalks of the Salt Flats? I also noticed the green finally showing up everywhere I looked. Even the resident alligator [video of it in previous post] was the most active I've seen in decades. Plus a few wildflowers are showing off in all their glory. The drive back home was mostly uneventful except for the mention of the falcon nest platform in my previous post.

I have a cardiologist check-up today, so won't be online much. Maybe, after the appointment, I'll walk the Marina!!
