After a 22 hour journey that took me from Manchester to Philidelphia and then down to Ft Lauderdale I have to admit to being jet-lagged and tired out. We awoke this morning to the first rain in South Frida since Christmas! Still with teperatures in the 70's and its only 9 in the morning , who cares.
As far as birds are concerened, from the beach side appartment balcony this morning I have already seen the local Osprey quartering the surf at first light and a flight of Pelicans passed over. Grackles are singing and Collared Doves, and European Starlings are very common.
On the Beach the Turtle Patrol has been by……….. every morning  the beach is checked for any signs of nesting turtles and then the eggs are protected. More of this later, and now I have established full connection here on the net I will report later today.
