The first picture is a vulture and his mid-day snack. I couldn't quite make out what he/she had to munch on, then when I tried to get in a little closer, he/she hopped up on the fence post and stayed there longer than I wanted to hang around. It's just too darned cold today! 43 degrees Farenheit at 11:35 AM today! Now, you're probably thinking that 43 degrees isn't much when the northern part of the state is in the teens, but this is south Florida! Our "normal" winter weather averages in the 70s in the day time and in the 60s at night. Last night's low temps along the beach were in the 30s for cryin' out loud! West of I-95 there was a freeze warning for temperatures to drop below 32 degrees.
The problem with this kind of weather is that most of us don't have enough clothes to endure a long cold spell. Maybe two or three days ... that's all I have clothes for! Tomorrow is supposed to climb into the 70s with one more cold night tonight, but only in the 40s this time! Only in the 40s!!! Hmph!

As for the vulture, I suspect he had a young iguana. The iguanas don't do well in prolonged cold like we've had this week. They become very sluggish, as if someone drugged them. This makes them vulnerable to predators, including humans.
C'mon sunshine!

Nature's clean up crew....
Wow, you are getting some very cool weather that you're not used to.
Are the tourists staying away?
Yes, the tourists aren't here in the numbers we've seen in the past. I don't think it's the weather, though. I think it's the economy. Today was a little bit warmer ... in the low 70s. That's almost decent winter weather, now!
