| Ibis in the mangroves. |
I woke up to the sound of rain hitting my bedroom window. I work outside, and I knew we wouldn't be working today. I had a choice to make, do chores or go out on the refuge and take some pictures? That's a no brainer, so I grabbed my camera and fired up the truck.

| Pintail |
There were thousands of Pintails on the refuge today. I think these are the most beautiful ducks that visit our area. I need to get a 500mm lens to really be able to photograph ducks. I'll put it on my list of things to buy.

| Banded Watersnake. |
Even though it was about 52 degrees, I came across this Banded Watersnake. I am sure he was trying to get some warmth from that white gravel, but I moved him off the path to avoid his untimely death by a "Snake Hater". I am sure you know a Snake Hater. You know what I am talking about, the people who will kill a snake just because it's a snake. Did you know that most people that get bit by snakes were actually trying to kill it and would have been just fine if they had left it alone. Although this snake is easily confused with a water moccasin, it is totally harmless.

| Snake in the Grass, there's a political joke in there somewhere! LOL |
