Sunset on Rookery Bay

Sunset brings the birds back to a rookery island, where the concentration of birds

affords protection from predators like raccoons and Burmese pythons.
Pelicans tend to stay with pelicans, egrets with egrets, etc.

Here is a great white egret zooming back to the rookery.  The sunset turns him gold.

The falling sun gave our wake golden highlights as we returned to the dock.
