I was surprised after I cropped this picture to see the Pelicans gathered at one end of the pier while Laughing Gulls and an occasional stray bird lined the longer unbroken end. Pre-Isaac the end of the pier would have held several people fishing.

Human Loss; Birds' Gain

Birds of a Feather
Long Beach Harbor, Long Beach, MS. Photo taken January 2012 and edited in Picasa.
This is a typical, yet beautiful and relaxing scene to see different species of Gulf Coast birds interacting or sharing a close environment. Pelicans are my favorite bird of all because their beaks give them the appearance of always smiling; but smiling in such a way that they appear to know a secret. Laughing gulls are plentiful and entertaining.

Ms Deena and Daughter
Walking past Ms Deena and her daughter, I remarked that my daughter and I used to walk together on the beach. Now, she is grown and in college. (I had heard Ms Deena's daughter tell her "Look, she's taking pictures of birds".) It was a pleasant exchange and these two were the beautiful birds of this walk.
It is an awesomely beautiful morning this Sunday, October 16th. The sky was that
mid blue shade that I love so much. As I was doing my wade-sand walk I can attest that the water was just slightly cool and clear near shore. The air smelled great.
October in the Mississippi Gulf Coast is worth putting up with a few months of high heat and humidity. We don't so much have the "changing colors of leaves" (nor leaf clean-up), but we do witness the migration of coastal birds.
We are blessed.

Morning With the Pelicans
--Long Beach, MS--
October, 2011
The location of this Pelican group is the I-110 walk at Hwy 90, Biloxi (Near the Beaux Rivage). It is exciting watching them soar. There is something cleansing about it...

-Long Beach, MS-
My favorite photo of the day, Saturday, September 14th, 2011. The Great Blue Heron in flight was going post to post trying to gain possession of an already occupied post. I like this photo because it shows both Laughing Gulls and Great Blue Herons as well as human influence evidenced by the boat. It was a warm day, borderline hot. The water was cool. There was a light breeze.
Long Beach MS is located in Harrison County, the middle county of the 3 Mississippi Gulf Coast Counties. The towns from the western border are: Pass Christian, Long Beach, Gulfport, Biloxi.
