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.
I have found there are just some birds that are harder to photograph than others. I call them my nemesis birds, and the Northern Parula was one of them.
Paragliders flew around the cypress dome near the boardwalk, upsetting visitors as well as the large number of nesting birds there.
It wasn’t until this past Saturday that I visited Orlando Wetlands Park in the evening, and what a difference there was.
