Trying to get out more, these were taken during a recent Audubon field trip.
For those close enough to visit, this is a great place for shorebirds a well as migrating species.

Great series. I'm torn between the YC Night Heron and the DC Cormorants as to which is my favorite

You are allowed to have more than one favorite! Mine is the juvenile loggerhead shrike in the nest.
Thanks for looking in, commenting and the thumbs-up.

Nice shots! I'm jealous of all the color you have down there. Gary
Thank you for looking in and commenting,
Don't be jealous - you have autumn and lots of beautiful wildlife also. But, if you want, just jump on 95 and head south. Let me know when you arrive in Florida.

Very nice!
Thank you very much for looking in and your kind comment.
Just viewed your photos from the old fortress - excellent work. I skipped that part of the park this visit to limit the amount of walking that I would have had to do. I have viewed it on previous visits. I enjoy the history also.

We went looking for wildlife after the fort and found next to nothing on a mid November day. Looks like things have picked up in the Spring time.

Spring is the best time, but there will always be something, especially on the shoreline. I wouldn't make the trip in November because I can see the same shore birds much nearer to home.
