Sunsets and Birds

First here is the sunset taken at Ft. Fisher (of course) through the Live Oaks to the west.  Biggest problem this time of year is that the sun is so far south, there are few Live Oaks to shoot through!  They were untouched by Hurricane Florence.

Lately the sunset has been loveliest over the ocean (east rather than west).  There was a lot of color this particular day.

If you look really closely, you can see some pelicans heading back to their roosts for the night.  There were lots and lots flying overhead just at dusk.

This was looking through the Live Oaks to the Atlantic Ocean in the background.  Lots of color!!

I did finally get to see some Oystercatchers which have been elusive this year.  It was quite late and the light wasn't great but you can see his bright red eye.

There were also quite a few Hooded Mergansers.  This is one of the females.

A Willet was also poking around looking for some food.
