Have you ever “Bird” watched?

This morning was an unbelievable sunrise….when I walked past a local resident here at AQUATTRO on my way down to the beach, she asked me if I saw the sunrise this morning? I said I took some pictures…

                   7:35am                                                                            8:00am

Now I should clarify that I am not a photographer, and I have never really gone bird watching. What I have started to do in the morning is take my camera with me when I go for a walk or run.

This morning was cool and very clear, a few people passed me along my journey but the most exciting activity I witnessed was the abundance of bird life down here…. We are a bonafide “Bird Sanctuary” after all.

My first encounter were these wonderful peaceful little ducks.

 At every beach you will find thousands of seagulls … our beach is no different.

This sign appeared in the early summer months, and for good reason. The dogs that come down to the ocean for their daily walk love all the wildlife.

Swans are so magical and soft looking.

Funny last week there were two otters in the lagoon and none of the birds would go into the water. This morning the otters and cranes could not be found.

You will always find someone down at the beach feeding the birds; I know they flew around me thinking I had some seed; the neat thing about that is you can catch a picture with the birds in flight right in front of you…My picture turned out blurry.

The beach is very clean, although one thing I do is pick up any garbage that the seagulls have pulled from the trash…

Enjoy,
