Last week I visited Green Cay for the first time in several months. Human "snowbirds" were flocking in incredible abundance, but I still had a nice time.
A small cotton rat crouching in a corner of the boardwalk went unnoticed by most passers by.

I had fun chasing this little pied-billed grebe. It would dive and I would scoot around and guess where it would pop up. It didn't seem bothered by me as it stayed pretty close to the boardwalk the entire time.

Lots of wintering waterfowl. A pair of blue-winged teal posed obligingly for me.


Still water.

This is the same snag that I often end my Green Cay posts with. Usually a wood stork or anhinga is present, on this day there was a large flock of grackles.
