It was my final day on the beaches of Gulf Islands National Seashore. I was disappointed that it was so windy and cold - it made the birds rather shy as they sought warmth in the frigid weather.
I did get a few shots, but I had to work for them! This crawl isn't a turtle crawl - it's a turtle girl crawl... It was the only way to get a photo with the skittish birds. 
They seemed to fly at the drop of a hat today. They really needed some warm sunshine.
I have so enjoyed my time here, and will miss the gorgeous gulf greatly, but I know there are fantastic adventures ahead. Thanks so much for following my blog to see how the beach is doing. 
Things will change drastically in the next year as road work continues -- the road to Fort Pickens should be finished by April!

gorgeous!!
I'm really going to miss your photos from this area.
Of course I'm now looking forward to photos from where you find yourself next.
What a wonderful place to have had the chance to work and to know that your work will make a difference to the wild life there.
Best wishes,
Annie
I'm not saying anything! I'll start crying! :-(
But the 'turtle girl crawl' did make me laugh. :-)
