This is a Tricolored Heron. Picture taken at Merritt Island NWR.
Creature
This is, I am assuming, some kind of turtle. I do not know the name of the species, but he is quite interesting looking. Especially that nose. This was taken in Merritt Island NWR.
Shells
The beach of Little Talbot Island State Park was very empty and very nice in January. Nothing like the winter back home in Virginia.
Guest Shot

This is a picture that Tammy took in Big Talbot Island State Park, near Jacksonville Florida. She went with black and white when taking pictures of this big gnarly tree.
