Emeralda Marsh

We went on the wildlife drive at the Emeralda Marsh Conservation Area today.  Lots of birds but the highlight was thousands of ring-necked ducks. They were flocking up to migrate, I believe, coming into the marsh to join as one enormous group.  
Today is Debra's birthday.  She has been the best houseguest imaginable.  We have roamed and explored nature all over Florida.  
Tonight we are going to downtown Ocala for the monthly artwork and to a brewery to celebrate her birthday.  Happy Birthday Debra!
