High Tide / Low Bird Sighting

Our drive through Ding today was at high tide. There weren’t any sand bars or shallow water areas to get good bird pics. But, we found a couple of birds near the road.

When you run out of shampoo mid-shower and you stomp to the corner grocery to get more.

Ahh . . . much better.

We had a chance for one photo last weekend. If you can only get one pic, then a Roseate Spoonbill is a good choice.

The pair of eagles show up almost daily to stake a claim to the nest. They don’t stay long, but other birds seem to respect their territory.
