Shore birds of St George Island State Park

Shore birds of St George Island State Park

March 4th & 5th, 2008

We arrived on Tuesday, but on Wednesday headed to to St George Island for some shelling or rather "beach combing".

When Joyce & I arrived on St George Island we immediately headed to St George Island State Park where we plan to do our beach combing. We are heading to St George Island State Park because that is where we can find shells and other floatsum that makes its way onto the beach.

In addition to the tern above this is two more of our feathered friends that made the walk enjoyable along the beach in St Geroge Island State Park.

Sandpiper on beach in St George Island State Park

Occasionally, one of these small shore birds will slow down for a picture. It doesn't happen often. But this is a common sight when walking the beach at St George Island State Park.

Willet flying along the beach at St George Island State Park

Willets like this one were around us all day in St George Island State Park. Willets are one of those birds that show more color when flying than when on the ground.

Sandpipers hiding in depression on beach at St George Island State Park

These sandpipers were huddled in a small depression on the beach here in St George Island State Park.

Resting gull on St George Island

Like the sandpipers this gull has found a depression to rest in, on the beach at St Geroge Island State Park.
