January 15 -- how to pass a long day driving

We left Tarpon Springs this morning, heading north. It didn't take long before we hit the rain. Thankfully, it was a soft rain, so our ability to see the road was not impaired. I was greatful for this rain in a way; leaving would have been harder on a warm, sunny day!

Because of the rain, we didn't make many stops along the way, so there are few new photos to post tonight. As we drove through Perry, Florida, we looked for a little cafe on the square of the old downtown where we had stopped several years ago on our way through town. The signs were still out but the cafe was closed. That meant no pie!

Since we have no new photos, I'm going to post some we took early this trip. On several days, Smoky shot some closeups of eyes. See if you can figure out what bird they belong to. I'll put the key below.

No. 1

No. 2
No. 3
No. 4

Key:

  1. Brown pelican
  2. Brown pelican
  3. Snowy egret
  4. Cormorant
Smoky also had some fun focusing on feet. Can you tell these birds?

No. 1

No. 2

No. 3

Key:

  1. Snowy egret. I think this must be a young one, because other snowy egrets had yellow feet.
  2. Brown pelican.
  3. Little blue heron.
Tomorrow we'll be home and this adventure will come to an end.
