I live one mile from the beach and I hadn't been there in the past 3 weeks - I was way due for a visit.
 |
| The little peeps today consisted mainly of Sanderlings - this one was feeding on an Urchin |
 |
| A Lesser Black-backed Gull found pieces of fish among the sea debris. |
 |
| Sadly, a view of the water released from Lake O - every time we have excess rain it is released down the river which trickles down our way - the water turns brown and affects the sea grass - which affects the sea life....it's a domino effect of the worst kind. |
 |
| And I don't like it one bit. |
 |
| A walk along the Lighthouse brought me face to face with a Gopher Tortoise on the edge of its burrow. |
 |
| I believe he smiled for the camera. |
 |
| I've yet to see juvenile Gopher - I look forward to that day, should I ever be so blessed. |
 |
| A Mourning Dove paid a visit to the Gopher's stomping ground. |
 |
| Found within the beach debris - what appears to be a Common Loon....it most likely perished from the red tide we had recently. |
 |
| Facing the cool wind was a nice mixture - can you i.d. each one? From left to right: A Ring-billed Gull, a Willet, a Black Skimmer and a Royal Tern. |
 |
| Several Ring-billed Gulls and Royal Terns and a phrase that comes to mind....I believe I'll rest my case. |
