On the morning of February 17th we entered through a "cut" into the Little Shark River and began motoring upstream. Came upon several flocks of anahingas and white ibis. Solitary heron and pelican were seen fishing. We also came upon a bald eagle and spent an hour trying to ghost down on him with the engine off to get some closeup shots. Total joy to see these birds in such a setting. I suppose the eagle was quite well fed since the Little Shark is a well known and productive sport fishing river. We got to Tarpon Bay and then headed down river on the Harney River and cut across to the upper reaches of Broad Creek. |
