I made another trip to Fort Desoto Park in late April. I was hoping there would still be some migrating birds stopping by. There was a small chance of rain even though it looked like it would pour at any time.
The only migrating bird I found was a Cape May warbler. There were several of these cuties in the woods near the ranger’s house.
Heading to the gulf fishing pier.
The usual birds were at the fishing pier including a ruddy turnstone showing me his missing foot and great egrets.
The laughing gulls were putting on a show on top of the shelter on the pier.
I thought maybe the sun would break through but it stayed cloudy. 
Pelicans hanging out on the jetti next to the pier.
A quick shot of a red breasted merganser that was still there. They spend the winter here but usually leave in March.
It was still a nice morning out even though it wasn’t very birdy or sunny.
Amazing photos! I enjoyed your capture of wildlife.
OOOOH! The Cape May warbler is a beautiful fellow!

Even though it “wasn’t very birdy or sunny”, the Fort is a great place to visit any time, as you illustrate!
Several wonderful birds here, but of course I love the cape May warbler
And that ruddy fellow! Aloha
