The ocean has been too warm for fish in the three weeks I’ve been here and as a result there have been practically no fishermen nor birds. This morning I woke up early and went out to my porch to encounter a few more of each than usual. Here are some of the pictures I took: (Click on first picture to see enlarged gallery.)
This picture of Rick was taken yesterday when he caught this rooster fish standing just offshore. Looks like he has another witness to the fact! More pictures later.
I asked the fishermen what they were waiting for and they said, “Evidence of fish.” I didn’t have to ask the gulls and pelicans. They were waiting for the fishermen to catch fish and give them some. Guess they are retired, too.

Great photos Judy. That was a good size fish – bet he was wishing he hadn’t come back. Lovely to see how different our beaches are.

That was a rooster fish. I have a good many more pictures of him that I’ll post when I have a minute or sixty…I lived a few blocks from the beach in Australia for two years. Yes, very different. I haven’t been to NZ though…

Good eating I imagine.

I can’t imagine a pelican if there are no fish. Those guys are major fish consumers!

Enjoyed your photos Judy. I’m in Florida for the winter, and on the Gulf side, where I’m staying, red tide is keeping everyone away from the beaches. Quite a few dead fish are washing up on the beaches.
With the bird rookery nearby, I’m spending my days there taking photographs. Today, Great Blue Herons and their one week old chicks, just fuzzy white balls with tiny beaks, and to think in just two months they will be as big as mom and dad.
Stop by my blog, if you like Judy. There are photos,poems and drawings/paintings I’ve done.
Happy sunning.

Wonderful photos..Just looked at three of your blogs as I just got back from a reading and dinner and need to get up early to go on a snorkeling trip, but I’ll certainly view more of your work and your fabulous photos in the future.

Love pelicans. That’s a great photo with the seagull – they are really big, so it shows the size of the pelican. we saw a lot at a small fishing village near Lima, Peru.

I have pictures of pelican in a small fishing village near Lima, Peru. Perhaps they are the same ones you saw!

That’s a pretty good sized fish. He caught that bare-handed?

No… He had a rod and reel. He is just carrying it in from washing the sand off so I can photograph it.
