Birding

There are many more birds to see than just the Whooping Cranes!  Depending on the time of the year, we have American Avocet, Great and Snowy Egret, Reddish Egret and (very rarely seen White Phase Reddish Egret), Great Blue Herons, Little Blue Herons, Black Crowned Night Heron,  Roseate Spoonbill, White and Brown Pelicans, Magnificent Friggett, White Ibis, (very rarely seen Glossy Ibis), Curlews, Oyster Catchers, Black Skimmer, Sanderling, Laughing Gull, Ruddy Turnstone, Snowy Plover and many more! 

 

In the spring of 2007, we were able to see and photograph the nests, with chicks of various sizes, of the Snowy Egret, Reddish Egret, Spoonbills, and Great Blue Heron.  This is a fantastic tour of Rookery Islands in the Spring/Early Summer.
