Tierra Verde: Fort de Soto (21-03-2011).

Another day in paradise?

Today started with a Bald Eagle young jumping around the nest, stretching its wings...
Too far for decent shots, still, a nice thing to watch!

After that, the day would prove how unpredictable birding can be,
spotting species I hadn't seen the day before...
(eg. Marbled godwit, Long-billed Curlew, even a Roseatte Spoonbill for 1 minute!)

Throughout the day beachvisitors & fishermen were a nuicance & as peace returned
a group of birdwatchers claimed the lagoon to themselves...
Here's my view on life in the lagoon:

Reddish Egret.

American Oystercatcher.




Willet ( 1 & 2 breeding, 3 non-breeding).



Long-billed Curlew.

Marbled Godwit.


Red-winged Blackbird (male).

Black-bellied Plover.

Black Skimmer.

Laughing Gull.
