OBX: birding session

No wind today so I snuck away to Pea island   for a free guided bird walk
about 10 of us headed out at 8am - i fit in with the nerdlingers with binoculars and camera except I forgot sunscreen and bug spray.  the mosquitoes have better aim when the wind is gone i discovered.
It was super hot and although I was being attacked, dripping with sweat, and visiting during the 'off season' for birds, I still had a good time and learned about the local birds.  Two women led the walk and teed up birds for the group with their scopes.
I posted some shots here.

lots-o-birds (this shot actually has a bunch of birds in it - can you spot them?)

I spent the rest of the day at the beach surfing on the big 8'6 long board.
Tomorrow is looking good for sailing but with a 180 deg. shift in wind direction
