Coquina Beach Bonus Shots

boardwalk to Coqunia Beach
We left Longboat Key Beer Can Island and drove across the bridge to Coquina Beach
Taken from boardwalk, not sure what it is
The bird on the top is an Egret, a very common sight here.
Still not sure what the frame is on the buckled beach wall

Hanging Sea Oats
Yellow Crown Night Heron
 This young  Heron let me walk to within five feet of him, but all I had was point and shoot and no sport mode for better shots, First one I have met so he was a bonus shot

    I was going to ask you what the frame/rack is when I read you don't know either.

    The sea jetty or wall is no match for the sea. I can not imagin what that wooden frame is. I wonder what holds it in place.
    I love the birds. Great post.

    That Heron looked a bit haggard and confused but he sure has a pretty place to rest.

    That seagrass photo is outstanding, good composition.

    So pretty! That Night Heron looks like a funny little bird. It looks like he is walking straight up like a human. Too funny!

    I love EVERYTHING!!!! I have never seen a baby night heron!! And the sea oats, I take it you CANNOT make oatmeal from them? The egret on the frame thingy, so artistic!!!! I have never seen an egret. I have said it many times:what is old news for you is exotic and special for me, and probably others who have never been to Florida or traveled much.

    That little heron is so cute and sounds like he was friendly too. That frame is a little odd, it does make me wonder.
