Green Cay post rainy weekend

A visit to Green Cay...  after a wet weekend, hoping the rain would stop when we got there and a little prayer  helped. Arrived to a cool breezy overcast DRY Green Cay, and a lot of birds.There was birds talking and calling the whole time.thought it might be a good day after seeing a lot of different birds along the Sawgrass Expressway in the lakes made by the rain, swimming and eating.Dan as usual was a great spotter helping me get a great shot with him using the binoculars.
