A Spring like Jan. day @ GBB

January/31/2006 02:50 PM
I hope everyone was able to enjoy yesterday's nice weather. I took advantage & headed out to Great Bay Blvd... I would have liked to have gone to Barnegat Light but didn't have that kind of time. I was out at GBB from 12:30 til 2:30pm or so. The marshes were with high waters but by the time I got to the bay beach (around 2pm the mudflats were totally accessible. As much as it was a beautiful day out there & the bay had some cool fog rolling across it & mist rising up ... there just wasn't much to see out there wildlife wise. I
didn't see 1 shorebird of any kind. Pretty much just Brants & CAN's. I did see one Common Loon & one female Hooded Merganser. But no complaints as I was fortunate enough to be outside & enjoyed the scenery & the nice day!
