Title: I saw mantarays in my backyard, took pictures/video.
Post by: White Israelite on May 24, 2010, 10:52:17 PM

There were groups of 20-30 mantarays and hundreds out in gulf breeze today. I have never seen so many, maybe because of the oil spill they are starting to flee here. If anyone here is into wildlife, thought you might like the pictures.

Here is the video

Wow, that's some backyard.  Let me confess to breaking that commandment about 'coveting'.

By the way, I recognize that ray in the fourth picture:  He's the guy who nailed Steve Irwin (grin).

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Gulf Breeze was one of my favorite places to visit.
