I took a drive down to the inlet today to check up on the Brown Noddy. It was not seen, but a fisherman told me about that cool little bird that landed on their shoulder while he fed it fish earlier in the week. I think the bird might have gotten enough food to move on with these favorable conditions. Single Great, Snowy, and Reddish Egrets were catching fish off the south jetty by hovering over the water then splashing down. This is a behavior I have not noticed here before, only down at Eco Pond. A pair of Gray Kingbirds was hanging out near the entrance to the south side of the park. For a while I tried to see if they were nesting anywhere around, but they appear to have a rather large territory that is not easy to move around in. While tracking down the kingbirds, three frigatebirds were seen circling the tidal pool.
