Howdee all,
Jeff and I were told to go to Tern Island for birding..
It is also a place where people go to dig Steamers at low tide.
Tern Island is a short five minute Kayak ride..to the mud flats.
Jeff sister and hubby dug for steamers~they have a yearly license to dig.
While they were busy digging for steamers
There were lots of Semipalmated Sandpipers and Plovers, a few Piping Plovers, Yellowlegs, and Gulls and other shorebirds.
They had collected enough for dinner…
Yummy!
Birding and clams, a great combination.
ReplyDeleteI once stole a Huge clam from a seagull after it dropped it on the beach at Pismo. Yum!
I didn't know clams were called steamers.. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's why I am heading up that way next summer... I am dying for steamers & LOBSTA'... we use to go clamming all the time when we went to Buzzards Bay for the summer. (my Aunt's place then my parents)
ReplyDeleteWish I had bought that house way back when...I'd be there now! lol
Have fun & Travel safe
