The Little Nuthatch — talbot island

At this point, I was not able to go any further down the beach because trees start to block the path and it must have been high tide. I went to the beach at low tide, high tide, sunrise, late morning, and afternoon. Every time there were wonders...

The campground is across the street from the main park with the beach. Our site was shaded by oak trees and overlooked the marsh....
