The Birds of Siesta Key Beach, Florida

The USA's #1 beach in 2015 definitely lived up to it title. A beautiful beach with sand made from Quartz meant that it was white and powdery.

There are pelicans that frequently dive into the sea as well as countless seagulls and sandpipers. I took many a photo of the animals - here are a few of them:
