Dave and I went on an adventure today! We went looking for Roseate Spoonbills! Even though it was chilly out, we stayed warm. I actually only wore shorts and a sweatshirt and I was fine. We went to Lake Maggiore and Boyd Hill Nature Preserve on the south side of St Petersburg. It was a great day for walking the trails. We probably walked 3 miles, maybe a little more. We saw lots of birds and beautiful water scenes - but no Roseate Spoonbills!
When we left there, we went toward Fort Desoto, still looking for Roseate Spoonbills. On the way there,, we saw one in a small waterway along a golf course...so we did a flip and got some pictures! Yay! I can add a few more birds to my personal bird book, now!
After taking pictures of this beauty, we headed to Pass-a-Grille for lunch. We ate at the Brass Monkey and enjoyed watching the Gulf through the window - it was much too windy and cold to eat outside! The water was sure pretty today - very blue!
Fun adventure and one we'll do again!
More later...
