Birding at Brigantine/Forsythe NWR

Penn Birding took a tour of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, Brigantine division.

To cover as much ground as possible, we drove around the Refuge in a car & popped out whenever we saw something interesting -- which was a lot!

 One interesting sight was a gull dropping some kind of shellfish onto the road and eating it in front of us!

Other than gulls, we mostly saw water fowl, including Brants, American Black Ducks, Shovelers, Pintails, Canvasbacks, and thousands of Snow Geese.

Hopefully we can return soon to more thoroughly explore this beautiful environment!
