American Coot.

Mottled Duck or Florida Duck.  This pair was also feeding near the beach.
Tricolor Heron. This bird was near the entrance to the Nature Walk.
Little Blue Heron. This one was feeding near the marina.
White Ibis. This one was on the Boy on a Bike island.
Sandwich Tern at the docks near the marina.
If you look at the right rear of this Caterpillar you can see an ant hitching a ride. 
 Great Blue Heron. This one was near the beach.
 Common Moorhen. This was the bird of thew day. I saw them everywhere in the park.
Belted Kingfisher. There are a couple of them in the park. This one was fishing near the beach. There is a small fish in his beak.












We had a cool front pass through last night so it was a little cooler this morning. The wind was out of the north so I was surprised to see as many birds as I did today. The park was very busy again today. There were more bikers than usual. They almost out numbered the walkers. There were a lot of warblers and gnatcatchers along the path to the boardwalk. The crows have left the park. I saw the Bald Eagle soaring over the park.
