The Daily Bucket is a regular series from the Backyard Science group. Here we talk about Mother Nature in all her glory, especially the parts that live nearby. So let us know (as close as you are comfortable) where you are and what's going on around you. What's the weather like? Seen any interesting plants, bugs or critters? Are there birds at your feeders? Deer, foxes or peahens in your yard? Seen any cool rocks or geological features? Post your observations and notes here. And photos. We like lots of photos. :)
Sights during a stroll in the sun along Tampa Bay:
Lots of little fishes out and about.
Mom and her brood. Not sure of the species--I can't tell brown female ducks apart.
Half-eaten fish floating on the waves.
Yellow-Crowned Night Heron.
A Crow chowing down on what looks to be a bread loaf that someone left behind. And a couple of Gulls plotting to steal it.
Homo touristicus floridana. :)
And now it's your turn--what's going on in your neck of the woods? :)
