The Conservancy of Southwest Florida sponsors cruises in Rookery Bay.
Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve stretches across 110,000 acres of pristine mangrove forest, uplands and protected waters, encompassing 40% of Collier County coastline.
The cruise begins in the afternoon and finishes at sunset.
There are lots of pelicans, some on the water, some in trees, some in the air.

And a few great blue herons.
And osprey.
And double-crested cormorants.
Tomorrow: sunset on Rookery Bay.
I will occasionally see a heron along a river or Creek here...it makes me so happy!
