Mingo madness!  Beautiful Caribbean Flamingos.

Flamingo searching the water before inserting his beak to feed.

Some sort of Crowned Crane.  Very uncooperative model!

Emu - 2nd largest of all birds!  Native to Australia.....

Emu again.....

Dozing Flamingo

This guy was definitely a character!  I went to the Jupiter Inlet Park and watched the fisherman along the jetty wall....there were a few pelicans pacing the wall waiting for the fish!   This guy was funny....I could sit and watch pelicans forever...some of them really have such wonderful personalities.

This pelican was grumpy....he was hunched down resting and didn't want to be disturbed....what a dirty look he was giving me!  I wasn't even close to him....thank goodness for the 500 mm length on my lens!

A Phoebe.   Beautiful little bird that flitters in the bushes around one of the refuges that I frequent....rarely ever sits out for pictures but I think this one was male....and he's obviously visited my website...he was enamoured with me!

Mottled duck and it's reflection in the still water.
