The front u-joints on the Jeep have been making music for a little while now. I wasn't too concerned as it was only when making sharp turns in 4WD. Lately, it had become a constant noise. Time to give it some attention.

I had the front u-joints installed and the front wheel bearings replaced.

Things were good for about a week. Now the front driver's brake caliper is sticking. I just replaced those a few months ago! It can't be bad. Can it?

Oh well. Life with a Jeep...

We slept in Saturday morning. So, no early light tours of St. Mark's. We did go in the evening though! The weather was just awesome. This is the two or three weeks out of the year that you don't mind living in Florida.

We headed out to the lighthouse to see if the Bald Eagles were at the nest. No one home. There wasn't much going on out at the lighthouse. We decided to take our time on the way back.

Rachel has to have the eyes of a hawk to see this guy from the car.

Kermit?

It was a nice evening so we parked the car and walked along the roadway to see what we could see.

We were walking along and she says "Hey Chris. That reed has eyes!"

As I said earlier: eyes of a hawk.

Say hello to the Least Bittern, the smallest heron in North America.
