Serenity

On our recent vacation, among the many places we visited, kayaked and birded, one of them was Fort DeSoto County Park near Tampa, Florida. This park has long been one of my favorites, especially the north beach area. If you are there at low tide, there is a spot that is great for shorebirds and waders.



Here are some White Ibis feeding.

This was my first time at DeSoto with my kayak, however...this opened up whole new areas of the park to explore, like this great sand bar that was literally covered in waders. Here's a Reddish Egret I was able to drift up close to.


That's it for now...I will probably continue to post some things from this trip for a while...we saw a lot!
