Wildlife At the Beach

Great  herons like to hang out with fishermen if possible. It cuts down on the work they have to do . themselves. They wait around for a handout. This picture was taken at Florida Point. You can see Gulf Shores and environs in the bavkground.

I can't help myself. Herons are such elegant birds that I have to take their picture whenever I can.

This fellow has been injured somehow. Looks like both wings are hurt. I didn't see him fly, but if he can't . staying near the water at least provides him with a chance to eat.
