Wednesday December 23rd 2020
The day got a cold start. It was 51 degrees inside my RV home at 7AM, but it warmed up quickly into the mid seventies. The day ended with a beautiful sunset.
Yesterday I thought the park was crowded and the streets in Sarasota weren’t overly busy. I think I spoke too soon. The traffic in the city today was horrible. Getting around was one big traffic jam. I retreated to the comfort of the state park quickly.
Similar to yesterday, the wildlife was a little harder to find. I think they sense the added presence of humans and stay away from the popular areas. It took more time and patience to get a few nice pictures today. Bathing day for the Rosetta Spoonbills and the nice sunset were the best pictures of the day.
A mid sized gator. 
A real mouth full. 
Wood Stork. 
First you splash water all around, make sure to get it under your wings, then spread your wings to let them dry in the breeze. 
A full boat for the tour. 
There are at least three gator heads sticking out of the water.
