Part 5 of content from last Saturday at Presque Isle State Park, along the Gull Point Trail. Outer Gull Point is the big attraction (and rightfully so), but there’s also great bird activity on the bay side beaches, by the outer official/inland trail “big bend” & also the beach access just before where the restricted area starts. This is the former:
These are great sites for getting closer to beautiful birds like this lovely Semipalmated Plover:
And this juvenile Spotted Sandpiper:
Also, as always this time of year, Killdeer:
Medley of more Spotted Sandpiper, Semipalmated Plover, & Killdeer:
The BirdingPI.com summer staff hiatus starts tomorrow, but what else to do on vacation but birding and bird photography? Coming up: back (once again) to the BIRDS (BirdingPI.com Regional Desert Southwest) field station in Tucson, AZ, for the SE Arizona Birding Festival, etc.! Meanwhile, there’s lots (and lots) of recent PI content in the hopper!
