Our last day along this coast - there is much in the plans for today and plenty to see - after layering up we headed off. While waiting for the light to change we watched with glee a Caracara eat his breakfast.
 |
| Picture was taken in an idling car and from the back center seat where my view was extremely limited. |
 |
| We arrived at our first destination and were greeted by a pair of Great Blue Heron, from the look of it - they are sporting their bright and beautiful breeding plumage. |
 |
 |
| I was happy to see a Savannah Sparrow - I like these guys and I don't get to see them very often. |
 |
| A Wilson Snipe was tucked in and staying warm. |
 |
| Some of the roads that we didn't get to see - as I said I would need a week of Sundays to cover it all. |
 |
| Sandhill Cranes - a few were seen and many more were heard. |
 |
| A common and beautiful Great Egret. |
 |
| Several Horned Grebes were swimming about. |
 |
| A Downy Woodpecker. |
 |
| One Tree Swallow was seen resting on a reed while his hundred friends were flying around. |
 |
| A Red-shouldered Hawk - this guy was a lot more 'red' than what I usually see. |
 |
| One of many Green Herons. |
What a great trip this was. Many of the group members mentioned how quieter it was 'birdwise' this time around but for me, being my first time, I was quite pleased with the entire experience and I look forward to the near future to re-visit this location.
