Pictures: Season of the Manatees
Visitors to Blue Spring State Park in Orange City, Fla., gather to watch manatees frolic, Wednesday, January 19, 2022. The manatees are attracted to the warmth of the 73-degree spring during cold weather, with a record-breaking number counted by volunteer manatee watchers this week. Blue Spring is a magnitude one spring, pumping 102 million gallons from the Florida aquifer into the St. Johns River, and a popular destination for Central Floridians year-round.
