Hi See amazing water birds, foraging for their morning breakfast. There is a pod of Dolphins that use this estuary lagoon to feed and to give birth, and raise their young. We see them almost every day, as well as young sea turtles, stingrays and even manatees in the summer months. Please keep in mind that although we see some or all these animals almost all the time, they are wild animals, and there is no guarantee to see them So what are you waiting for, grab your cameras and involve yourself, enlighten your senses, and begin your day, natures way.
