We saw some more cool bird species today. We found ourselves at a small, narrow grass island with shrubs being used as a rookerie and hang out for a wide variety of birds, including Ibis, Great Blue Heron, Little Blue Heron, terns, egret, and others. We also saw probably a dozen and a half or more Magnificent Frigates. They were perching in groups of six to ten on top of pilings or other structure, in one case the emergent superstructure of a sunken shrimp boat.
Feels like I'm still on a boat, rocking, and I am exhausted even though we didn't catch any oiled birds today.
