Birding at Fort De Soto: North Beach | Thousands of Shorebirds! Last Day of the Trip

🌅 Final Birding Day at Fort De Soto: A Shorebird Spectacle! 🐦✨

What a way to wrap up my birding adventure at Fort De Soto Park! On this final day, birding at at North Beach, and Arrowhead park, we saw more warblers, and I witnessed one of the most breathtaking sights a birder can hope for—thousands of shorebirds filling the shores at North Beach! 🌊🐦 From delicate sandpipers to majestic plovers, red knots, dowitchers, and even a whimbrel, the diversity and sheer numbers were amazing!

📍 Highlights of the Day:
🌟 Massive flocks of shorebirds feeding, flying, and roosting together—an unforgettable spectacle!
🐾 Close-up views of red knots, sanderlings, willets, terns, gulls, dowitchers, black bellied plovers, wilsons plover, black skimmers, wading birds, and more!
🌴 The serene beauty of Fort De Soto’s beaches and tidal flats, a true birder’s paradise.
