I just love living so close to our wetland preserves and sanctuaries. So many miracles of creation – every outing is a joy~!
Roseate Spoonbill takes a stroll in the early evening.
Ahhh…..I love the muck at this time of year.

Snowy Egrets always look so graceful, don’t they?
The sparkling eye of a Cormorant looks like a jewel in the evening light.
Young Iguana at the edge of the boardwalk, looking down at the water, wondering, “Uh-oh, where do I go now~?”
Indignant Least Tern lets off a little steam ;-D
Splotches of red Swamp Hibiscus always stand out in the marshes.

You have some beautiful images there, but I just love your regal looking frog. He needs a little crown.

I love that Jewel-like turquoise eye, too, AB. Interestingly, I just saw a very young cormorant yesterday sitting on the boardwalk, and his eyes were also a beautiful blue but softer and not as sparkly yet.

That’s interesting, since many young birds of other species have dark eyes, and do not develop the adult eye colour till maturity.

I was thinking the same thing, AB. I’ll have to post that picture of the little guy later this evening!

Very nice. I really enjoyed the “tour” of your wetland wonder world and having the opportunity to experience the biodiversity of a wetland ecosystem so different from my daily routine.

I appreciate your visit and your comments, Nick. That’s one of the terrific things about blogging, isn’t it – to get to know a bit about a whole other part of the natural world from our fellow blogger’s points of view?!
