Scenes from a June 25,
2021 visit. |
Ducks and ducklings in a)
chaos. b) order. It was amusing to watch
some of the ducklings walk on the algae carpet in
places rather than swimming through. |
Black-crowned night-heron (Nycticorax
nycticorax, Order Pelecaniformes, Family
Ardeidae - Herons >). |
Great egret (Ardea Alba, Order
Pelecaniformes, Family Ardeidae - Herons >).
The bird is much bigger that the Snowy egret and has
a yellow beak and black feet). |
Willet (Tringa semipalmata, Order Charadriiformes, Family Scolopacidae - Sandpipers >). |
Brown pelican (Pelecanus
occidentalis, Order Pelecaniformes, Family
Pelecanidae >). |
Also there were a number of swallows zipping around the beach. |
Lots of signs, but no Western Snowy
Plovers were spotted. |
