During winter months Manatees move to warmer waters. Blue Springs State Park is a sanctuary where the constant temperature spring water flows out to the St Johns river.

A Hawk, but with that pose it does resemble an owl

Beautiful shots. That water looks so clear. I would love to dive into some Florida water right now, as a lot of mine is frozen here! Gary

will be near 70 for xmas this year. Blue Spring outflow is maybe a 1/4 mile of crystal clear water before it enters the St Johns river and mixes with all the tannins from surface water runoff and takes on a tan color.

Good shots. I used to dive in there a lot. I don't remember seeing that many Manatee in one place. Thanks
