I love spring and how the air feels as well as the clarity of it. Today's Audubon meet was at Bowman's Beach - a public beach with facilities galore (picnic tables, launching ramp for canoes/kayaks, a playground for kids, a fitness trail, outdoor showers, WC and a soda machine). I hadn't been there in a while and I looked forward to visit again.

| I tend to get to my destination ahead of time and this morning I was rewarded with a gorgeous sunrise. |
 |
| The Kestrel was quite willing to give us ample time to admire his beautiful feathers. |
 |
| Interesting to see them side by side - not something I would expect to see. |
 |
| Beautiful serene spot, don't you think? Soon the sea turtles will come back for a visit. |
 |
| You just never know what you're going to see when you put your pics on the computer. |
 |
| There was 26 people in our group. |

| A Brown Pelican in its breeding plumage of chocolate brown neck feathers. |
 |
| We spotted 4 Spotted Sandpipers today. |
 |
| Ospreys were plentiful too. |
 |
| One happy singing fellow. |
 |
| The view from the launching pad. |
 |
| I always get a soft spot when I see those guys. |

| Here's a bright spot - this guy was chopping coconuts with a huge knife and sharing with tourists. |
Another great morning of birding with some very fine folks. My E-Bird list for today http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S17547398
Nice shot of the US Coast Guard plane. I always enjoy looking at whatever pics you get.
