Sandwiches on the Beach

This past weekend I went to Jetty Park a little after sunrise and got a chance to enjoy a few Sandwiches on the beach. 


One of the first birds I spotted as I made my way to the beach was a Magnificent Frigatebird circling the sky above the inlet. This is the second one I've seen over the past week as I also saw one near the Sebastian Inlet. Numerous Ospreys and a few Black Vultures were also soaring the skies. 



I was most excited to see a few Sandwich Terns that were standing proudly among the Royals.


Sandwich Terns are handsome looking, medium sized terns.





This Laughing Gull discovered a healthy-looking breakfast in the surf; a washed up bone!


Thanks for stopping by!

  7. It's nice to sea your Gulls. Sandwich Terns are very cool, like they dipped their beaks in carmel.

    So now you're seeing Frigate birds, hmm...I think there are some old superstitions about that. Something momentous must be heading your way!
