Photo Study Of Birds At E.B. Forsythe NWR (Brig), September 1st, 2011

    Brig was loaded with birds yesterday but unfortunately the tide was high most of the day which kept many of them too far out for us picture
    takers. Nevertheless, while I couldn't photograph the American Avocet, the juvenile White Ibis, the Sora and the Black Terns, I was able to get a
    bunch of the others. There were hundreds of juvenile Forster's Terns and Snowy Egrets throughout the Refuge, which more than made up for it.
