The Celery Fields, Sarasota, FL

 On Saturday, February 25th we were up before sunrise and headed to The Celery Field east of Sarasota FL.

 The morning fog made gave the Sandhill Crane on top of the embankment a mysterious look.

We observed a wonderful mixture of species from the viewing platforms and at the beautiful garden around the visitor's center. Here is a selection of what we saw...

Common Gallinule in courtship.

Limpkin on a nesting box.

Little Blue Heron hunting.

Nanday Parakeets making noise in the tree tops.

A Palm Warbler snacking on a dragonfly.

And a Purple Gallinule taking a stroll on top of the water lilies.
