Typical nice day here!

Sealife folks on board from Wisconsin, New Jersey (2 groups), New York, and Delaware. The three Osprey, born this nesting season and now almost fully grown, were all sitting on branches of the same mangrove tree.

Mom (or Dad) was flying all around them, as if to demonstrate various flight maneuvers. We watched them for a while as it was so interesting. Picnic Island busy with such a nice day.

Lots of creatures scooped up in the shallow grass bed at Picnic, including a baby Sea Hare. Dolphins playing in the wake of a passing boat,but just couldn't catch them with the camera. Max Moore, the Naturalist, showing the Southern Puffer and the small Blue Crab caught in the deep water net drag.

Suddenly the Puffer decided to de-puff by spitting out the water he had taken in. Interesting, fun trip.
