| 9/6/2014 Huguenot Memorial Park, FL: We caught a number of other species besides the Piping Plovers.

| 9/14/2014 Amelia Island, FL: A very tame Great Blue Heron was feeding along the Green Way and gave the camera some good looks. A surprising (and surprised) juvenile Yellow-crowned Night-Heron paused to look up during its hunt while a male Red-bellied Woodpecker was foraging in the trees with its young. |
| 9/21/2014 Huguenot Memorial Park, FL: We loved watching an elegant Reddish Egret hunt. The mostly young Opsrey individuals have improved on their fishing skills and we witnessed a number of successful catches. A young Snowy Egret (with yellowish legs) was also enjoying breakfast. Also shown: Sandwich Tern , Caspian Tern , Common Tern , Turkey Vulture, and a Varied Lorikeet . (Kidding - Just seeing who is paying attention. Yes, we are STILL going through our Australia files!) |
| 9/28/2014 Fort Clinch, Amelia Island, FL: It is always great to see a Red Knot - wish there had been a whole flock. Also, our more common Ruddy Turnstone , Willet, and Sanderling . |
