Went to Blue Springs today and it was gorgeous...
Not too many people, and a friendly and photogenic manatee...

This Manatee was actually doing barrel rolls for the camera... (show off)

First one I have see in 2004...

I put some pics up on my website http://www.joelaw.8k.com/ then click Photo Page...

Blue Springs is still an old favorite!

Check it out!
 
Was this one close to the boil near the downed tree? I floated by it on the way down the river, but didn't see any others. :wink:

Yes! thats the one, he was parked right over the hole when we were coming up, this was the only one I saw, but we got out of the water at the entry point and didn't check out the rest of the run to the swim platform...
 
Somebody reported seeing a manatee off Hibiscus in Lauderdale by the Sea last week. Last time I actually saw one in the ocean was February 2003, though we saw a pod last February in one of the Miami rivers (off the Big Fish restaurant deck). They're a sad story, but they keep hanging in there!
 
I can't wait till I get to snorkel with them (next month), in the mean time, looking at them from above, I stand by my original observation...they looked like baked potatoes with fins! LOL
 
:lol3: ROFL! I never thought of it that way before. Now having T-Steaks seems that much more appropriate!
 
How do they react to flash photo? (Need duct tape over the flashport if they don't like it.)
