Morning at Huntley Meadows

Just a very nice morning today in this area, nice temps and a clear blue sky.  I drove to Huntley Meadows to check out the wildlife.  There were already a number of photographers there shooting photos of a large group of Great Egrets in the park. I came across the Sandpiper above and grabbed a shot before it took flight.  I believe this particular bird is called a Solitary Sandpiper.

Just moments after this bird flew off, I spotted a beaver swimming towards me, soon followed by a second beaver.  They both stopped near the boardwalk to enjoy a nice breakfast and did not  seem to care at all about their proximity to me or other visitors.

Leaving the beavers to walk farther in the park, I came across the spider web below.  The fairly large web was lit up by the bright morning sun, as long as you were looking at just the right angle.

On the way out of the park, I stopped to photograph a Great Egret as it scanned the water for its next meal.  There was a good number of Great Egrets here today, along with a smaller number of Great Blue Herons.
