Homosassa Springs

While visiting my folks in sunny Florida we made a trip to Homosassa Springs State Park.  Homosassa Springs is an old tourist trap turned into a Manatee and wildlife rehabilitation center.  There is a large spring that attracts a large number of salt water fish seeking the warmer water temps of the spring.  I got to take some nice photo's of some birds that it's just not so easy to get close to in the wild.
