Birds of note

iPhone pictures, so not real high quality.

From Tuesday, October 18. The legendary yellow-bellied sapsucker. They migrate down from the noprth, and spend the winter here.

On the oaks at the front of the condo.

from September 25, a blue-crowned parakeet, part of a small flock, outside the Cape Canaveral community center. They're feral, of course.

The boardwalk to the beach is actually quite usable, if you don't mind wading through knee-deep water. But it will likely need some repair once the water goes down. It might be worth considering elevating it above likely floodwater levels.

In the meantime, the water over it is warm, and the tadpoles like that.
