Ft. Fisher SRA

On the 16th I took a day-trip to Ft. Fisher down in New Hanover County. We spent most of our time on the spit, a legendary place among birders. During fall, thousands of shorebirds visit the spit and the area around it, but we would have to settle for our lifers Wilson's Plover and Common Nighthawk. We had great views of both. On the way back home we stopped by Mason Inlet WMA and picked up lifer Common Tern. That's a brief summary of our trip.
