Seeing shorebirds by the seashore in St. Augustine

They are so many shorebirds found in Florida that it’s often hard for me to tell them apart. Fortunately that wasn’t the case back in mid-April during my weekend in St. Augustine.

On an Easter morning visit to St. Augustine Beach, adjacent to the Anastasia State Park beach, I came across some pretty recognizable shorebirds: terns, plovers and pelicans, to name a few.

A large swath of the beach dunes were roped off for shorebird breeding, though I wasn’t able to see any in that area. But I was happy to be able to photograph these shorebirds.
