I visited Ft. Macon State Park yesterday-my first time in 2016. Mid-winter does not offer many woods birds here, but there were a few including the ever-present Yellow-rumped Warbler, mockingbirds, grackles, swamp sparrows and Crows. I spent most of my two hours there walking the beach watching the few brave souls bracing the cold and shell collecting. It was a beautiful sunny day and the temp was in the low 40s. The shorebirds and wading birds offered many good photo opportunities with lots of “fly-bys” to let me practice my flight shots. These included pelicans, gulls, white Ibis, Cormorants, Willets, Sanderlings, and a Ruddy Turnstone. Ft. Macon always has birds, regardless of the weather or time of year--it is easily accessible--you should go! See Pics below---
