Beach Nesting Bird Survey: Ft Desoto 3-24-17



Mama Great Horned Owl (looking right) with her two chicks




They took over this Osprey nest as GHOs rarely build their own nests.




Sanderings, the most widely distributed "peep" (slang for the 5 smallest sandpipers)




A winter visitor here that nest way upon in the High Arctic









Adult, non-breeding Short-billed Dowitcher
Thanks, Ron 


Short-billed Dowitcher, Black-bellied Plover, Ruddy Turnstone (L to R)

Fish Crow



Supposedly the only crow we have in Pinellas County



Can only tell them apart from the American Crow by their voice differences
