Mangrove habitat

This is the mangrove islet Ralph talked about. We got pretty close and those birds weren't worried. They seemed to be watching us as much as we watched them. I guess they're used to people since it is a busy harbor. We circumnavigated the island in our little dinghy but it was pretty shallow in places. We could see the bottom and the water here is not very clear. In fact, at a particularly low tide one morning a lot of that land was exposed. I sure wouldn't want to get too close in a big boat!
