Final epic coverage from July 4th at Presque Isle State Park, along the Gull Point Trail, including lots of lovely AAIF (American Avocet in flight) – because it’s not every day there’s flying Avocet! (Maybe Florida somewhere.)
Fascinating to see a skeleton of what’s probably Longnose Gar (Lepisosteus osseus):
Could also be Spotted Gar or similar.
Finally, a special supplement featuring juvenile & adult Killdeer:
Incredible photos, everyone! The heron feathers on takeoff were like a skirt! Amazing! This team member wonders why the killdeer has the red ring around its eyes. Just for show? Or to show off?
