Tigertail Beach, Second Time Aound!

While on Marco Island, Tigertail Beach, part of the Great Florida Birding Trail, was on my agenda. These photos are taken on my second trek up to this sanctuary.

Fishing!

I just love these birds!

There are over 60 species of shorebirds that either migrate to or are residents of Tigerail Beach.

If you ever find yourself on or near Marco Island, this is an excellent place to visit! --LKR

Manasquan

Never before had we ever found sand dollars at the Jersey shore. The regulars at Manasquan all agreed. The tides, quite literally, have changed. Riptides are more frequent and more powerful than they were when we were growing up. Unfortunately, that's what happens when you try to change the "landscape" of the sea.

Little clams that had washed ashore that I revived in water before releasing.

A little girl caught an interesting fish and showed it to us.

Sand crab!

We used to body surf. Not any more! --LKR
