On my beach walks, I am able to observe the “ultimate hunters” at work- the osprey.
I watch them dive into the ocean, emerge with a fish securely in their talons, and then fly overhead toward the marsh.
The “ultimate scavengers” (seagulls) follow close behind- just in case the fish manages to wiggle free!

The Borough of Avalon web site: Â Beach Fill UpdateÂ
Once the Strathmere project is complete, the dredge will move to Avalon. Â We should see activity on our north end beaches by the weekend.

The sea breeze is often credited for preventing “weather” from ruining a beach day. Â Must be the case again today.
Rain all around…but not in Avalon or Stone Harbor  🙂
