It was a recovery morning after our two long flights. Avis car rental obliged with an up-grade at $4 per day. Again, so easy and efficient. Going north from Orlando was complicated by the weather, road closures from which we eventually escaped. It took a good hour before we were traffic free and heading northwards.
We were birding as soon as we stepped out of the hotel but only a Common Grackle flew. Where are the birds? On our way we did see both Turkey and Black Vultures on several occasions. Michelle saw a Swallow Tailed Kite and a Bald Eagle. It was disappointing as we zoomed past meadows and roads edged with yellows and pinks of the natural flowers of the verges.
Later on St George Island Laughing Gulls were more than obvious! Cormorants and Pelicans were easy also. Three Kingbirds perched on a wire. Terns were there to be seen and everything else will be there in the morning after a restful night.
First light is at seven and tomorrow is a toll free day!
