Birds at Ocean Isle



My fishing partner and I spent most of yesterday fishing on the sound 
behind Ocean Isle.   We had beautiful weather, caught some fish, and 
saw a number of birds.  Before leaving, we checked the beach on the 
ocean side and found a few additional birds.  Here's the list for the 
day:

brown pelicans
turkey vultures
laughing gulls
herring gull (immature) - ocean side
ring-billed gulls - ocean side
d-c cormorants
great egrets
great blue herons
tricolored herons
sanderling - ocean side
kingfisher
tree swallows
boat-tailed grackles
fish crows

I saw one tern aloft, probably a Forster's but I didn't get a good 
enough look for a positive id.
