Reid State Park, February 2, 2008

What a super day to be at Reid in the sun & wind, overlooking the high surf on the rocks & beach. We enjoyed seeing the large variety of birds plus the many birders who ventured out this morning after the Friday rain storm. The purple sandpipers were still flying around the rocks off the main parking lot when we were leaving at noon. Submitted by Carol Jack.
