Monday started at a weird tidal time - neither High nor Low. Birds can't decide where to go. Lots of Swallows and Butterflies!

Nice morning on Tuesday at Quonnie and then a visit to the Turf fields because of the intense rain last night. No too much there.

Just a quick bird at Quonnie on Saturday of Labor Day weekend -- surprisingly peaceful. Some interesting birds on my "Lemon Sorbet" beach loop on the way home.

That's all for this week -- my favorite tide cycle is around for the next few days -- so hopefully next week will be more productive. At the very least it will be quieter (after Monday).
