I met with a couple of friends at the Lighthouse Beach this morning. We watched the sun come up and watched the birds and fish. It was great to see so many birds dipping into the clear water and catching fish, again.
We were there early enough that the lighthouse lantern was still blinking its presence.
We saw many small starfish in the shallow, clear water.
We were treated to an Osprey that caught a large Spotted Seatrout in his talons. He flew around overhead several times in the early morning light, before taking the fish to the nest.
Hey, look at me! I’m surfing!!
There was another Osprey nest on top of a chimney on one of buildings near the lighthouse.
One of the friends I was with this morning found this beautiful Shark’s Eye shell. What a great find!
We saw several Laughing Gulls with all the shore birds today.
And, of course, you cannot walk by this structure without taking a photo. I wonder how many photos have been taken of this lighthouse over the years. I’ve certainly taken my share of them!
