Once we decided we would no farther than Apalachicola, we meandered around. We stopped at a little park surrounded by beautiful houses and looked.
We saw these birds and didn't know what they were.
We saw this, and many others, boat on land.
Apalachicola is definitely a cute town. And definitely a summer destination. There's a very fancy pantsy downtown crossroads with chichi stores selling furniture and doo dads. But the town hasn't been completely gentrified (that is probably not the right word, but it kind of is). Just a block or two down from the shops we saw buildings like this.
At one time, as you can see, the streets were paved with oyster shells. I hope they ate them before they paved them.
We saw many pelicans...that I will, from this point forward, refer to as 'penguins'.
This was an old factory (I assume a shrimp processing sort) that was for sale. I don't know what the deal is with blogger and vertical photographs...tilt your head to the left and you'll see the dock falling into the river.
Three penguins in a row.

i think those are probably boat-tailed grackles, but i'm not sure. that's all i know.
Those are in fact boat tailed grackles. They are found only near salt water and the ones you photoed are desplaying breeding behavior. The males are dark shiny blue/black. The females are smaller and are decked out in varying shades of soft pretty browns.
