Fort Matanzas National Monument field trip
September 2015
On a seasonably warm, but beautiful September Saturday morning, ten adventurers from Santa Fe Audubon walked both ocean and river beaches at Fort Matanzas National Monument and were rewarded with some memorable bird sightings. Among the scenes that captured their attention were a Willet bathing in a shallow pool, an Osprey carrying a large fish, a flock of Wood Storks with many resting on their forward-bent knees and a Reddish Egret demonstrating its characteristically energetic foraging behavior. Other sightings included Royal, Sandwich and Caspian terns; Wilson’s, Semi-palmated and Black-bellied Plovers; Sanderlings, Boat-tailed Grackles, Brown Pelicans and Ruddy Turnstones.
