Saved A Small Bird

We found this small bird floating just outside the harbor on
the way home. Just from experience I could tell by the way it was floating that
it wasn't doing well, ( most of it's body was under water not "on" the water).
So we turned around, scooped it up and brought it back to the dock. We called
Wild Life Rescue and then came and got it and will try to nurse it back to
health. We asked what type of bird it was, and we were told it was a "Sandwich
Tern". Not sure if that's really the name of if that's because if it doesn't
survive....... they'll make a sandwich out of it
!!

3 Sailfish caught and released, 1 Wahoo, 7 Tunas and a
Barracuda
Make for a great day of Fishing!
