Winter Wildlife

By ann

I get excited when I find a nice piece of sea glass during my daily beach walk.  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.  I walked south up against the dune fencing to block the wind.  On the return, I walked closer to the water (yet still grumbling about the cold!).  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.  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!

Tuesday Weather

By ann

Early sun…then rain…then bright sunshine…then clouds…and more rain.  Typical spring weather!

P.S.  Another heavy downpour and thunder.  Sounds like a summer storm now…

Exclusive Beach…for birds!

By ann

The piping plovers have it made:  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  😉
