This month was a camping trip instead of straight backpacking. Little Talbot is within an hour of home but we never stopped there. It’s a unique park. It is less than a mile wide but 4 miles long. The east side is on the ocean while the west side is wetlands. The movie shows fiddler crabs near the wetland.
Between the wetlands and the ocean are dunes.
There is one trail within the island under trees. With recent rains and given the swamps, there were a lot of mosquitoes so I hiked this one fast. The cool part was seeing this Barred Owl.
Walking on the beach was great though. The few people who come to this beach mostly stay near the central boardwalk. Both ends of the island were empty when I was there. I liked this tree.
I see great blue herons frequently at our backyard pond. But I didn’t realize how big their footprints are and they can be taller than me (which isn’t saying THAT much).
Just a cool picture of a section of the beach.
