Egmont Key Boat Tour: Saturday 6-17-17




Skyway Bridge across Tampa Bay



Sandwich Terns were feeding next to the Bay Pier



There were huge schools of baitfish, primarily anchovies





Acrobatic Least Terns were also enjoying the buffet





Snowy Egrets were feeding more passively




Great Egrets were feeding much more passively while looking for an easy meal




Laughing Gulls were trying to steal fish from the hard-working juvenile Brown Pelicans





The Dog Beach just west of the Pier was packed




Great Egret moving from the Pier to the beach






 Male Brown-headed Cowbird




was hanging around the picnic tables looking for an easy meal







Common Ground Dove on the seawall




On our way to the island a small flock of White Ibises was ahead of us over these sail boats
