Finally back at Gull Point last Saturday @ Presque Isle State Park. Cloudy/unsettled weather, but a beautiful day nevertheless – very few folks out. #peaceful_nature
Roped trail to the observation platform has been ‘de-roped’ for the year, so looks like nesting season is officially over. Following’s the view of the official trail from the old observation platform, sans rope:
Surprise of the day was two large flocks of beautiful Dunlin, BirdingPI.com’s ‘tied for first’ favourite shorebird:
Also four lovely Sanderling. Conveniently, the other of BirdingPI.com’s ‘tied for first’ favourite shorebirds.
More Dunlin!
And finally, here’s the old observation platform with fully completed repairs/maintenance – new stairs, new decking, and new side rails! Great job DCNR on these excellent Gull Point improvements!
As always, these photos were excellent. What a joy to be able to see the birds closeup!
Thanks!
