Today's Foggy View to the North |
It was rai ning at my house and I heard radio reports of fog at the coast, but for some reason I decided to go to the refuge for the midday plover warden shift anyway. When I got there the beach was pretty well socked in with fog, which did not advance and retreat or ebb and flow like last week. It just hung there and every once in a while turned into rain. There weren't too many visitors, a couple of school groups on field trips: girls practicing bushwhacking and boys looking for warblers. I did have to tell one visitor, dressed in a huge trash bag with a hole cut out for her face, that the beach was closed. She was genuinely surprised. All together I only spoke with 4 visitors the whole shift. |

The More Aggressive of the Herring Gull Pair |
Mostly I watched the herring gulls - the same pair that hangs around the southern refuge boundary all the time - because they were the only birds I could see. One elderly man told me he had seen the blue-green warblers (blue-green warblers????) but from his description they sounded like swallows to me. |
