A yawning dunlin in breeding colors. It’s not very often I see them with that black belly.

Short billed dowitcher looking back at me.

Great blue heron getting a bite. He was stalking a guy that was fishing in the water. He kept a close eye on the unsupervised net.

Barge leaving the bay. It’s fun to watch the big ships go by.

Things were pretty quiet at Fort Desoto on my quick stop after work. It was a nice night before dark and I wanted to look for the whimbrel that has been sighted at the east beach turnaround. I still haven’t seen him yet even though I keep reading reports of him being there. I’ll keep checking.
