As always, we left Grand Isle on a happy note. It’s such a wonderful place and Connie and Gary are the best! Gary took me fishing to his secret place and I caught a sixteen-inch trout. He also took me out in his boat and after I set a record for small hardheads he finally found the spot and we caught three keeper trout and a bull red, (which of course was released unharmed as it was 36 inches).
We also took pictures of the destroyed Observation Tower and Fishing pier.
Dolphins feed in the surf, and as usual there were plenty of todaloo, which is a hermit crab.
They all posed menacingly shwoing their claws.
Our luck was against us and we didn’t see any, but we did see a flock of elegant terns. Renita also got a picture of a Summer Tanager, and a local birder told us of a tree called the Toothache tree.
Its leaves deaden your mouth, just don’t put in the whole leaf!
Connie told us that a bird fallout happened right after we left. Clear skies
Grand Isle is such an interesting stop. Stay safe and healthy.
