Animal Kingdom
I have been delighted to see the different birds here, --different from what I see at home. It wasn't a surprise to me to see egrets here, though I hadn't thought about them being here. We see an occasional egret at streams in our area, but there are lots of egrets here.
On Sunday morning when I looked out at the ocean from our balcony, I could see white triangle shapes away down the beach, south of us. I realized that they were birds and I wanted to walk there and get a better look at them. I finally got to do that yesterday morning.
There were only three egrets yesterday. I got a few pictures and then had to come home and change the camera batteries.
Yesterday afternoon during my beach walk with my brother, I saw pelicans. Now, that surprised me. I hadn't realized that I would see pelicans here. A flock of them flew over as we were headed back to our building. I loved seeing them.
And, the little sandpipers! They are so cute! The best thing about watching them is seeing them run. Their legs look thin as matchsticks and they wink back and forth ever so fast as they dart here and there. It's fascinating. I think of it as their legs twinkling back and forth as they run from place to place. Those little legs move so fast! I wonder if they ever get out of breath from running.
