3-2-24 Robinson Preserve

 We played two games last night and each team won one so the tally is now 4 to 3 with the girls in the lead.

We drove up to Robinson's Preserve this morning and met our friend Kelly (Lana's daughter).  We had a lovely walk - the sky was overcast which made for a slightly cool walk - perfect for us!  We had a great time taking pics of the birds.  It is so nice to get together with Kelly when we get down this way as she shares our love of walking and taking pictures of nature.  On our walk we saw white ibis, lesser yellow legs, osprey, a yellow-crowned night heron, little blue heron, mottled ducks, a common gallinule, both black and turkey vultures (one pic is a whole tree full of vultures), many American white pelicans, assorted small shore birds, mocking bird, cardinal, a juvenile white ibis, a morph little blue heron, a tricolored heron (spotted by Russ and Cathie walking back from the bathroom), mourning dove, great egret, blue-winged teals, and several female lesser scaup.  There is also a pic of what Kelly calls a Florida ice berg (floating sea foam).  We saw several wildflowers which I will post tomorrow as Cathie has the app to identifying them on her phone.  We drove done the road and ate  lunch at Compass Bar and Grill.  We had a delightful waiter from England and New Zealand who took our pic before we left.  Russ and I went out to the pool area to read, but it got a bit chilly so we came in.  Cathie and Dave are still napping.
