Right off the bat I could watch the two cute birds, unobstructed by anything other than some low sand vegetation. Turns out, it took me almost 30 minutes to leave the parking lot!

Flight has evolved multiple times; it has emerged in lizards, snakes, fish, bats, maybe bats again, distant relatives of primates, regular primates, rodents, and a few other unlikely taxa, in a rather half baked fashion, not “true” flight.

Judging by the number of people I know who have been there at one time or another, you might find yourself there some day.

The Bald Eagles that nest along the river had apparently had a very poor breeding season, the high water making their usual fishing spots less productive, so the ornithologist told me; we only saw one of the adults. By the time we pulled up on shore, the Common Nighthawks and the bats were out.
