Indian River Lagoon

 

 

 

 

This is a picture of Indian River Lagoon from the front door of our RV where we are in Camelot RV-Park in Melbourne. That is highway 1 between us and the Indian River. This was taken on Saturday February 18. The weather was beautiful as you can see and temperatures soared into the 80's for the afternoon. We couldn't ask for any better weather. That is Indiatlantic across the river.

American Oystercatcher

 

 

This American Oystercatcher was feeding outside Squid Lips waterfront restaurant in Sebastian. Note the band on his leg. It would have been nice if I could have homed in on that band and read the number off it.
