Mississippi lunch

LAKE D'ARBONNE STATE PARK, LA - - We're on the road headed to Yellowstone National Park for summer jobs.  This is Day Two.  We left from near Pensacola, FL this morning and drove thru a small part of Alabama and into Mississippi and now into Louisiana where we are camped for the night.  Road food can be boring unless you ask the locals where to eat as we did in Pensy and hit on a good catfish place.  Today's lunch was a crayfish po'boy sandwich in s little place in Seminary, MS which caught our eye as be blew past, turned around and were glad we did.

Moving into the neighborhood

ORMOND BEACH, FL - - A Yellow-crowned Night Heron family has moved in nearby and nest building/renovations have begun.

Bumble breakfest

I think I can, I think I can

ORMOND BEACH, FL - - This Sandhill Crane chick had plenty of confidence. We found him/her working on dance steps and doing a bit of wing movement at the same time. Viera Wetlands.

Airborne styles

ORMOND BEACH, FL - - There was plenty of activity at Viera Wetlands today. In the 'soaring' category we had Ospreys overhead; a Great Blue Heron skimming the water and a Tricolored Heron powering away from us.
