October 18, 2023, South Beach near the beach access at the soccer fields.
October 18, 2023, South Beach. I counted 420 Brown Pelican.
Least or Western Sandpiper. (No palmation, so not a Semipalmated Sandpiper.) I lean toward Least because of brownish look overall. It would be nice to clearly see leg color. FYI: Adding saturation makes the brown browner and the legs yellower.
Yellow leg?
October 20, 2023, bike path near Driftwood Beach. Interesting worn-looking brownish color in wing feathers.
Little Blue Heron. Note pink color on bill, all green legs.
