David and Sarah Post were visiting Amelia Island this week and brought along their 2 year old daughter Maddie for an Amelia Island boat tour. We headed out of the Fernandina Beach City marina and headed north to see the sites of historic Old Town and Fort Clinch. We crossed over to Cumberland Island and were pleased to see a nice herd of wild horses browsing the dunes on the south end of the island. Heading north, we eased into Beach Creek and as we cruised the shoreline slowly Sarah spotted a small alligator laying low in the water and keeping an eye on us! We also saw porpoises up in the creek and a black crested woodpecker. Our next stop was Tiger Island where we again spotted porpoises and we found a large old tree full of roosting Rosette Spoonbills. With that, we cruised the back alley of Tiger Creek to head back to the marina, wrapping up another great day to be out on Amelia Island waters!
