San Carlos RV Park

03/02/09 - 03/06/09

I spent five days at this RV park. My campsite was right on the water. It was on Hurricane Bay, which is a bay of the Gulf of Mexico. There were plenty of shore birds around and an osprey nest was on a platform in the bay. The nest was about two hundred feet from my campsite.

I had a lot of fun watching the ospreys. One of them would go off for food while the other stayed on the nest. The one guarding the nest would start sqawking as soon as any other bird strayed too close. A couple of times another osprey or a vulture would get too close and the parents would chase them off.
