Well, okay, these birds are not actually walking on water (as if you couldn't guess). Nor are they walking on a sandbar. These birds are actually on small sticks placed there to attract them so they can fertilize the seagrass. The seagrass in turn acts as a filter and protects the reef. We learned all this from Ben, who gave us a tour of nearby Lignumvitae Key Botanical State Park (see slide show).
