since May 2005 back surgery and then Hurricane Katrina wiping us all out. Was getting cabin fever with the gray gloom and drizzle so decided I would go to the sewage treatment plant where there are all kinds of shorebirds and ducks. Grrrrrrrr the gates were locked so I headed down to town and the beaches. Wow it is still so lifeless out there. It is so hard not to see 1000's of gulls everywhere. Didn't see any Black Skimmers at all. I did make a few good finds then headed to the harbor my most favorite place to get pics. I am pleased over all at my outing but is still so sad to have lost so much wildlife that has yet to show signs of a good recovery
American Oystercatchers was very please to see 5 on Front Beach in Ocean Springs
