Late Sunday afternoon, I drove through the the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge to the end of the Lighthouse Road.
I made another deposit of smiles to years of satisfying experiences in the refuge: Rafts of coots feeding, ducks in the distance, two great egrets, irradescent grackles, gulls spiraled overhead, a northern harrier flew low over the salt marsh, and six deer.
