Ft Desoto County Park: 5-20-18




If one is cleaning fish, the egrets will come!





Bad hair day for the Snowy Egrets







Ruddy Turnstones





This species breeds on the coastal tundra in NW Alaska, on islands in the Canadian Arctic, and the northern coast of Greenland.





Black Skimmer colony on East Beach





Active display flights





These birds are skittish breeders and even a slight disturbance in the colony greatly reduces the rate of nesting success.
