Birds of 2013: Week 36

I finally made it back to the wetlands. I didn’t have a lot of time to explore, but it was nice to go. I was surprised to see how far the water level dropped over the summer. There were many Great Egrets & Great Blue Herons in the water that day. There were also a number of shore birds, which are new species for the year. However, I went back to the wetlands a few days later with my kids & snapped better pics of these birds, so I’ll add them to my tally when I do that post. Other than spotting the shore birds, it was an uneventful, short walk.
