Birds, Words, Pics + TV
St. Augustine Beach and adjacent Anastasia State Park are great places to see shore birds.
On a recent sunrise visit, I came across a large group of terns, Royal and Forester’s, mixing in with a group of adult and juvenile Ring-billed Gulls. And Black Skimmers, of course.
The terns, and others in their family, nest regularly along the beach in St. Augustine. I’m looking forward to go back and hopefully seeing some of the new generation of these birds later in the year.
Not one, not two, but three little Eastern Screech-Owlets poked their heads out of a very crowded nest on Merritt Island.
Since starting regular trips to the wetlands in January 2023, I can honestly say there have been very, very few trips where I come home disappointed.
It wasn’t until fairly recently that Black Point Wildlife Drive and Bio Lab Road re-opened. Some other areas still remain closed because of high water or flooding damage.
