EARLY MARCH AT FORT MACON BEACH

3/5/2016

Today is March fifth and it is still cold in Eastern NC. It was frosty this morning when I left for Atlantic Beach and on to Fort Macon, one of my favorite beach sites for shorebirds. I decided to focus on the beach area along Beaufort Inlet to check out the birds feeding there this time of year. There were very few people on the beach, a couple of folks looking for shells, one lone fisherman, and a family feeding bread to the gulls. I was able to get a picture of my favorite gull, the Laughing Gull, catching a piece of bread. In addition to several species of gulls, there were Red Knots, Mergansers, Cormorants, Loons, Sanderlings, Willets, etc. There were White Ibis and a young Black backed Night Heron just off the beach. I spent two pleasant hours getting the following pictures--
