Birding by Kayak on Cape Island Creek - Sunday, September 28th, 2014

The water was like glass allowing close looks at the birds. We watched a Belted Kingfisher diving into the creek, successfully catching a fish and eating it within 50 feet of us. Overhead, we had Cooper's Hawks chasing a Sharp-shinned Hawk along with a Northern Harrier.
