Special double/triple post today; tomorrow’s post will be brief due to field operations.
Presque Isle State Park is popular for many reasons, not the least of which is seasonal sunsets over Lake Erie, as here yesterday evening close to (appropriately enough) Sunset Point. Beforehand, birds at Beach 11, starting with a nice sighting of 3x Semipalmated Plover:
Great Blue Heron @ foraging/wading behavior:

A nice, if shady, sequence of Spotted Sandpiper catching mayflies along the water line:
More Great Blue Heron foraging behavior:
BRAVO! Fantastic photos, everyone one! Loved the sunset shots!
Cartoons were cute, as usual. Keep up the good work! 🙂
Always nice to get out to the park at sunset. Lots of folks out enjoying the view, and amazing how everyone clears out – lots of traffic – just as soon as the display is over.
