I took weekend trip to Jacksonville with my friends and begged to do some birding. We went to a few parks, but found nothing. Then we went to Huguenot Memorial Site, there we where allowed to drive on the beach. We look around and found a great site. I got down and started to walk closer to the birds. Most of them I had already seen, but still I enjoyed seeing them again. As I scan around with my bino s, I see a beak that s different and as I look closer it s a marbled godwit. I looked at him for about five minutes and keep scanning and then, I spot a long-billed curlew (man, was I excited). The trip was good, not much birding, but fun.
