Hi All,
Another quiet morning and nature filled afternoon. We hiked the two mile nature trail to East Slough then hiked back to the campground along the beach. The start of the trail was near the bay and we looked unsuccessfully for sea horses in the shallows. A friend said we might see them. Thanks for the tip Jim. It was neat to know they are there even if they eluded us.
The trail took us across these beautiful sand dunes.
Once again, we had the beach to ourselves once we got 50 feet from the parking lots.
Many more birds and dolphin feeding on inshore schools less than 200 yards offshore. Gulls, terns, brown pelicans and northern gannets joined in the feast.
Yesterday's strong on shore winds blew lots of interesting stuff on to the beach. This is either coral or sponge.
Interesting pattern on this jelly.
On the shore of a small pond in the campground, we watched a great blue heron fly over carrying a big stick. We followed as he landed in a pine tree and presented the stick to his mate. She spent about 15 minutes poking and prodding to get the stick in just the right nest spot then sent the male back to "Home Depot" to get more sticks.
We concluded our visit on the Coast with another campfire.
Here's a look at our big, private campsite.
Tomorrow we are off to St Augustine to visit the kids.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
