The Gulf temp has been dropping lately and that means Manatee season is here. They are filling up the local springs. Lots of newcomers from across the Gulf and beyond. The new visitors usually have a few barnacles from "SaltLife" but after a few weeks time warming up in the fresh water springs the barnacles fall off. I will try to get over and get some better shoots just had the wrong lens with me...A lead bird tours as a volunteer at Three Sisters Springs with the US Fish & Wildlife Service but the manatees are what attracts the tourists😉
