A burst of sunshine and dropping wind made this a kayak trip that could squeeze into the year's end.    It was a treat to hear the Loons calling and to get into the shallows to see some peeps-Dunlin, Black-bellied Plover, A Blue Heron, Ruddy Turnstone, and many more.  Two fishermen in kayaks and one island walker but otherwise the island to myself.

Last month I was fortunate to see a Peregrine Falcon and  a Piping Plover group.
