Birds of Island Beach State Park

 

 

 

We went to Island Beach State Park. It was a better day for the beach than birding, but here are a few photos. The top is female blue grosbeak (we think). The middle photo is a seagull eating a crab. Chris was traumatized by a crab as a child, so she thinks it's fine for the seagull to kill them. The bottom picture is a rather rumpled mockingbird.

We couldn't tolerate the rain and overcast any longer, so we took a quick trip to Florida's Emerald Coast. We didn't do any serious birding, but took a few shots with the old camera while strolling along the beach.

Sanibel Gulls and Terns

Royal Tern

We usually are not a big fan of the sea gull. However, walking down the beach, we encountered a funny looking sea gull with a longer bill and a funny crown of black hair. A passerby identified it as a royal tern. They were still around we when came back later with the camera so we got a few pictures. Here are some pictures of other gulls too.
