Bobcat stalking in the background.
After taking this photo, the juvenile quickly moved away and the adults started calling and making themselves look big to scare off the cat.

Lifer! I didn't think they were still in Florida in their breeding plumage.

This is the female, observed mating. She was very tame, the male was a bit more unwilling to tolerate a close approach.

They apparently come to the ocean in the early AM for the salt, before most of the tourists get there.
