Remember that the East coast of FL had the most damage from a Hurricane that came ashore near the Marcos Island area last year.

Buzzards on the McDonalds Roof? That is the norm for most McDonalds.
Those guys are used to rotten stuff.

But in the Marcos Island area, we do have rather large Seagulls.
Buzzards really don't like the saltwater atmosphere.

Mary, the area has more positives than negatives. Average temp is 75, fewer hurricanes than Kansas has tornados and not nearly as many blizzards as the Great Plains plus a lot less snow than New York or Boston.
