Late on, I took a walk to Marconi Beach from the back of our motel. In the woods, the busy Black-capped Chickadees and Red-breasted Nuthatches caught my attention.

But one of the more surprising encounter was with a Wild Turkey in a weedy powerline right-of-way. I think this was a hen who was incubating her eggs in the nest when she was startled by me.
