Tropical Storm Hermine At Bunche Beach: Pt. II

Tropical Storm Hermine At Bunche Beach: Pt. II

September 17, 2018December 23, 2019 Bob Pelkey Leave a comment

The weather has seemed downright weird to me this rainy season in southwest Florida which is not to imply that it has been any less than uncomfortably humid. The rainy season has not been anywhere near as predictable as it is supposed to be in Florida. And for the first time in nearly 11 years […]

Whimbrel At Carlos Pointe: Part II

Whimbrel At Carlos Pointe: Part II

August 29, 2018December 23, 2019 Bob Pelkey 1 Comment

The Whimbrel that had been reported daily at Carlos Pointe for nearly a week prior to my visit was of course not guaranteed to be there.

The primary purpose of my visit to the freshwater pool at Carlos Pointe was to […]

Shorebird Clock = Right Tide And Right Time

Shorebird Clock = Right Tide And Right Time

August 24, 2018December 23, 2019 Larry Nichols Leave a comment

Last weekend when I checked visited the Westbrook shoreline early in the morning. Right from the start I knew it was the right tide and right time for seeing shorebirds. As I started to walk up the beach a yellowlegs seemed to be leading the way.   This may not look like the ideal place […]

It was our final mornings birding in Barrow and indeed in Alaska as this was the final day of the trip. We decided to head out to the point to get some final views of Polar Bear. As we drove along the coast road the male Snowy Owl from yesterday was perched close to the […]

Another day spent birding the Council Road which runs east from Nome, thats not a negative comment, its a fantastic birding road as it extends along the length of Safety Sound with the sound to the north and the open sea of Norton Sound to the south. Today we birded as far as the summit […]

Celebrating the occasion was my birding expedition to Access #5 at Siesta […]
