Unusual to see any of these raptors settled down anywhere. They seem to be perpetually swooping above, peeping happily as they feed in flight. Photos by Daniel Cooper Clark

Shamrocks in February

The long cold spells in January and February 2010 left many garden plants around Sebastian looking like they’d never come back. But these shamrocks obviously liked the treatment! Photograph by Daniel Clark

Views From Aboard the River Queen

The River Queen sets out from Capt. Hiram’s Resort, taking folks on a tour of the Indian River Lagoon and the St. Sebastian River. Photos by Scott Smart

In the Lagoon, there are Dolphins, Ospreys, and of course Pelicans, who have a National Wildlife Refuge named after them.

Entering the St. Sebastian from the Lagoon, the river is at its widest.

Along the river’s South Prong, the meandering course threads around islets.

The river gets narrower…the banks get closer…we see some local residents.

The cruise returns along the Lagoon’s banks where Wood Storks, Roseate Spoonbills, and Egrets coexist peacefully.
