Photo Walk - Saturday July 9th 2011

We were fortunate in that the heavy rain of Friday night ended just before the walk began. We again spent most of our time on the beach where we saw and shot American Oystercatcher and Least Tern chicks. Unfortunately, the former included an individual with nasty growths above its left eye and on its right wing reminding us that nature, for all its wonders, is not particularly sympathetic to the world's inhabitants. We also saw a classic non-breeding plumaged Forster's Tern, a fishing Great Egret, and a female Rambur's Forktail in the Bunker Pond area.
