Brown Pelicans

One of the largest birds in the area, the Brown Pelican is lots of fun to watch, skimming the surface of the water. When they spot fish, they pull up and dive into the water scooping up large volumes of water and hopefully dinner.

Four Plovers

On one of our hikes we were fortunate to see 4 different species of plovers.  The endangered Piping Plover, the Snowy Plover, the larger Black-bellied Plover and the common Semipalmated Plover. (Notice the banding on the Piping and Snowy)
