A New Jersey Paddle

We brought the boats from camp because we intend to take them to Florida with us this winter.  So despite the cloudy skies we decided to take advantage of having them in NJ and drove to Island Beach State Park to paddle among the sedge islands in Barnegat Bay.  It sure looks different from the Adirondacks.


We saw lots of birds - gulls, great egrets, great blue herons, kingfishers, one snowy egret, one tri-colored heron, and lots of cormorants.


After the paddle we walked on the beach for a while, seeing lots of gulls and several oystercatchers.
