North Beach, Fort DeSoto, Florida

Went to Fort DeSoto, one of my favorite birding places in the world this afternoon. I was amazed at the total lack of sandpipers and plovers. Even the long-legged waders were not in their typical numbers. I have no explanation for their absence.

I was able to get some good photos regardless, and it was a beautiful sunny and 74, so I can't complain too much.
