Photo Study Of Some Birds At E.B.Forsythe NWR (Brigantine), August 19th, 2010

Dr. Bernie Master and I birded E.B. Forsythe NWR (Brigantine) yesterday morning...nice sunlight and plenty of mud. There were well over a thousand Semipalmated Sandpipers as well as many other shorebirds. In any event, the Rails put on a pretty good show as did the juvenile Black-crowned Night-Herons.
