waking up way too early this morning, I decided to head to Bethel Beach
for the morning. I got there about 6:45...it was a bit cloudy, low
tide, winds still, bay calm....and already 82 degrees. Very, very humid.
There was not much going on except for the osprey, they seemed to be
active. I saw one adult rail, and got pics of a juvenile in the canal
along the road before the bridge.
As I was leaving, I ran into fellow birders George and Rosemarie...good
seeing them this morning.

Wild Turkey
Great Blue Herons (6)
Barn Swallows everywhere
Clapper Rail (2)
