Come on in, the water's fine!
Tidal Wetlands are found along our nation's sea coasts within reach of the oceans' tides. Salt Marshes develop near river mouths, behind barrier islands, in bays, on coastal plains, or in other areas affected by tides and protected from the full force of the surf.
Tidal marshes provide invaluable protected habitat for many juvenile fish species, birds, and other wildlife, help to cleanse polluted water, and protect against storms and floods.
Annexed by the Atlantic years ago as part of the ever changing Outer Banks. This view is toward the Northeast to Shackelford Banks and Cape Lookout. Thanks for the look and have a great weekend.
I was walking the beach, and had to stop when I saw this tidal pool reflecting the bright colors of a beach condo.
I believe the 2 upper birds are Willets (Tringa semipalmata) -- but I'm very open to input.
There are so many similar shore birds, I'm not always sure which is which....
I had a great time with my sisters when they came for a visit. We found a fantastic little place on the beach and enjoyed every minute.
I still have hundreds of images that I haven't gone through.... : ]
I'll be catching up over the next week---hope everyone is having a great week so far!
HWW!
