More “pre-Christmas” shots from the first full day of winter 2023 along the Gull Point Trail @ Presque Isle State Park. Above, a juniper festooned with Christmas ornaments, just off the “outer official” trail.*
Scant bird activity on the mud flats and outer beaches. However, great to once again see a beautiful Peregrine Falcon, which seems a recurring event this time of year. Also a pair of lovely Dunlin = unusual in December/winter.
[* Editor’s note: BirdingPI.com staff not responsible for indicated juniper shrub. It’s all festive/well-and-good, however the decorations appeared abandoned = essentially litter that will require cleanup.]
