Today, David, Melissa, and myself visited the Green Cay Nature Center and Wetlands. We did see several alligators and nesting birds; however, most of the birds have left for the season. It was a warm, beautiful day, with a nice breeze!

What a great day! Great photos! Is that butterfly a Zebra Heliconian? I think I saw a damselfly in one of the pictures. Soft-shelled turtles have such interesting faces. Nice shots of the nesting birds. Wood Storks, Limpkins, alligators, and Anhingas! Geez, you guys are spoiled out there.
Yes it is:

WE call the Anhingas the snake bird.
Thanks for stopping by!
