Jakes Landing and other nighttime spots

The middle school team started their night at Tuckahoe Wildlife Management Area with their first bird, a Marsh Wren. From there it was across to the bayside to Turkey Point for some rails. The half moon has risen and is casting a lot of light on the marshes. This isn't great for nighttime birds calling. The lighter the night, the greater chance a predator may eat you if you're calling!

54 degrees at Jakes Landing  with a breeze feels more like 38 degrees. There has not been a lot of activity at any stops this early morning. On to Belleplain for sunrise.
