Quiet on the beach

It rained the entire day on thursday so I thought it might clear out by the time 9pm came around, but I was wrong. Spent the night in raingear riding up and down the beach in the rain by myself. I did not see a single person all night - which was nice.
No turtles were spotted.

Lots of birds on the beach huddled up against the wind and rain. I saw the first group of night herons that have arrived for the summer. They are fun to watch when they are hunting for crabs. Sometimes in the morning they will sit a wait for a crab to run down the beach after being spooked by our ATV. Smart birds!


Do Sanderlings EVER sleep?? They seem to eat 24 hours a day!
