Exclusive Beach…for birds!
The piping plovers have it made: Â their own private beach from 40th Street to 57th Street in Avalon.
The designated area is along the dune line with posted signs- hopefully the birds understand and appreciate the effort  😉

Beachwalker Report
The new sand pumped on to the Stone Harbor beaches is in good shape- even after the quick moving Nor’easter last Tuesday.
In Avalon, the project is set to resume by early next week, adding new sand from 32nd Street and north to 9th Street.
Pictured below: 17th Street in Avalon looking north (on a sunny day last week) ; and 111th Street looking south (today in the rain):

Winter Wildlife
I get excited when I find a nice piece of sea glass during my daily beach walk. Â So you can imagine how I feel when I encounter a bald eagle, a snowy owl, or a seal! *
It was cold and windy yesterday morning. Â I walked south up against the dune fencing to block the wind. Â On the return, I walked closer to the water (yet still grumbling about the cold!). Â I was thinking about finishing my walk back on the street to warm up…but I’m so glad I stayed on the sand.
As I approached the jetty, I noticed movement. Â A seal!
The rocks camouflaged the little guy, and I probably walked right past him as I started my walk!
A great way to start the weekend  🙂
*No slight intended to the beach walk “regulars”: osprey, oystercatchers, dolphins, and the occasional whale!
