Sebastian Inlet

April 29, 2022  •  Leave a Comment

The weather in Florida for my first few days was very stormy. The winds were blowing 20-30 mph in the afternoons. If I wanted to photograph anything at all, I needed to find areas sheltered from the wind. I went to the Sebastian Inlet and found a great spot that fishermen were casting nets. This attracted many birds who fed on the bycatch. It was my first time seeing several of the species. First was a Little Blue Heron. This guy is much smaller than a Great Blue Heron. The face is so blue!  There were lots of Brown Pelicans present also. Their breeding plumage is different from the Pelicans on the west coast. A bit more subtle.   Also there were Wood Storks and Snowy Egrets And Black Turnstones in their breeding plumage It was a great way to salvage an otherwise very stormy day.
