Happy Christmas
Thursday 24 December 2020
It was quite warm today (in the high 70s - low 80s) but also showery. We managed a couple of walks. This morning we wandered down to near the beach and this afternoon we went to Oslo Conservation area, about 5 miles from the marina, where there is a trail through the woods to a pond surrounded by mangroves. It was pleasant if not spectacular. The observation tower that was our destination on this walk has been destroyed, presumably by some named storm in recent years. We did see a possum and a few birds including osprey, a juvenile night heron, blue heron and tricolor heron. Our bird list for the trip currently stands at 129 species.
Later this afternoon we filled our water tanks and attempted to hook up our third and final propane tank in case we ran out whilst cooking Christmas dinner. However, we found out that the only propane we have is in the tank that we are currently running and that both reserve tanks are empty. I think I cocked up somewhere along the line. Hopefully we won't run out tomorrow and we’ll be able to refill both empty tanks on Saturday.
We won’t be posting a blog tomorrow but we do hope that you all have a great time, eat lots of fine food and have fun. Happy Christmas everyone!

Beautiful butterflies! I call them all "blue herons"; nice to know another name!
