Half Day Today


Barracudas and Bonitos

Found a Frigate bird in the Water on the way home. These birds
live and feed on the water all their lives, but
they can't swim. If they land in the water they can't get airborne again and
will drown.
We found this one struggling in the harbor and brought it in and turned it over
to Wild Life Rescue
