Brid Survey: Pinellas NWR 10-14-16



Double-crested Cormorants



Taking off is a real effort for these birds


It's certainly not rare but it is uncommon for us to see a Bald Eagle when we're doing the survey


This one hasn't quite reached its adult plumage as the white head and tail feathers take 4 to 5 years to fully develop.
 Bald Eagles from FL, TX, AZ and northern CA make northbound journeys in the summer.



There is a pair at Ft Desoto that is touching up their nest on the tower at North Beach.



Young Snowy Egret




Sandwich Tern










A very handsome tern
