I going with Least Tern, but I'm not sure because of the tip of the bill.

Waiting

You'd think with all the rain we've had, the poop would be gone.

I missed the fish transfer and then he decided to take a break. She wasn't happy, she kept making sounds.

I dont know tortoises ,but that .. looks like a Russian tortoise which has an imbalanced diet to me ,, at least ,, gopher tortoises when young, have the black and yellow reversed , as compared to this one.

Thanks Stosh. You know more about tortoises than I do. Never knew we had Russian tortoises in FL, actually, never heard of such a thing.

Looking at photos of them, my shot has more bumps.

You do however know that there are all sorts of exotic escapees down by you , and thats where I would imagine it comes from, but the very bumpy shell, like an egg carton, has to do with diet , I am told, so it may either be fed poorly in captivity or it cant find the right foods where it is.

Thanks Chris! It's fun to listen to them when they're flying. They can't seem to fly without whistling.
