St Marks National Wildlife Refuge

This refuge has a lighthouse and many ponds and canals that hold lots of waterfowl. But there's so much water around, most of the birds are too far away to photograph. But I was able to photograph quite a few birds including some that I had never seen or photographed before.

I made two trips here. Unfortnately, it was pretty overcast both days, so most of the photos below have a pretty dull background. On my second visit, there were a few pelicans and terns feeding and I had a great time watching them dive into the water for their food.
