It was an almost perfect morning at the end of May at Fort Desoto Park. It was too warm to be perfect and there wasn’t a breeze on the beach.
A snowy egret was fishing for breakfast.
Red knots are threatened in Florida due to loss of habitat. The beach in Fort Desoto is critical to their survival as they stop over here to feed during migration. There was a small flock still feeding that hadn’t left yet for the tip of South America for the summer.
The sky and tidal pool were filled with royal and sandwich terns.
I caught a few of them taking a late morning bath.
A tiny Wilson’s plover stops to pose for me.
One of the resident white morph reddish egrets was dancing for his fish.
Some great pics there but that white sand…wow! #WordlessWednesday

I always love the big skies you shoot at the beach, and the many birds, which most are exotic to this inlander.
