Fort DeSoto Park, Day Four


This was another day on the water. We took another route, and this time I remembered to bring the SPOT satellite messenger to track our progress. We got on the water earlier today, which was nice since it was a bit cooler. We found a small island rookery where pelicans and anhinga were nesting their young. There was a steady stream of birds bringing food to the nests, and a steady chatter of noisy baby birds calling for more. We were also treated to a mother dolphin and her very young calf. It looked like the mother was teaching the youngster to fish, but as small as the fin was on the baby she might have just been catching fish for it.


















We started packing up the camp gear, for we leave for home in the morning.
