Just a Sunday to Relax:  Grey Heron at Jenkins Creek

Although we are hit by another winter cold spell this weekend, it's a bright and sunny day in Florida.  This morning, we took a little walk around Jenkins Creek between Weeki Wachee and Hernando Beach. 

We were hoping to see some manatees which come there for warmer waters but there weren't any.  Luckily, there's always some good bird watching in Florida!  Instead of manatees, we spotted this grey heron resting and relaxing on one leg on what looks like the turned up root ball of a fallen sabal palm

Hi Silvia, what a great shot and what a beautiful bird.  He is trying to keep at least one foot warm.  Looks like a beautiful day in Spring Hill.  Enjoy it!

Great pic. I know where that is BTW. My friend moved near there & sent me a link to the Manatee Festival somewhere over there. Gosh it's cold here today only 15 or so. It's time to plan a trip I think.

Great shot, Silvia.

I have not seen Grey Herons, but we have lots of Great Blue Herons in nw PA.  Most migrate in fall, but I saw one last week.  It must have found enough open water and a food source to survive the winter.

Judith, it look gorgeous outside but it's still too cold for Floridians!

Toni, I do too!  We have the best of all worlds here, not only do we have water birds but also all the garden and field birds!

Lyn, the Manatee festival is taking place in Crystal River this weekend and it's only a half an hour drive or so north from here!  You are good!
