TIERRA VERDE, FL - - There was a whole lot of squawking going on in this heron family on Bird Island as the youngsters wait for mom to feed them. She isn't aloof although it looks that way. What really is happening is that mom's stomach is churning the fish she recently caught into mush and she regurgitates (like barfing) that mush into the beaks of her family. There are four hungry youngsters in that cluster
We met the raccoon family at our campsite in Ft. Desoto campground. Mom and five of her six rascals are pictured here. It seemed the sixth member was always too slow, too fast, too involved with something which was attention getting or just plain straggling along to get involved. The group made numerous forays into our site looking for food and almost got into our VW camper. See Lydia blog via the link on this page for more pictures of our adventure last weekend.
