Pic-o-pic




Three wildlife pictures today. The top is the nest of a mated pair of Osprey. The middle is a gopher tortoise in his next. The last is an Osprey in flight.

Note on the Osprey: When we first started coming here they were majorly endangered, and we were lucky if we saw any. There were perhaps 4 nests on the islands, and they usually didn't have chicks. Now, there are TONS of them! We've seen no less than 30 nests, and all have chicks. It's wonderful to see them around and to hear them.
