Back to Normal

              So we are now into October and things at the Refuge are a little quite now. We were use to seeing 250 people plus at the Visitor Center on Saturdays and Sundays and now we are down to 150 on average. Even though the weather here is still warm and the days are all sun and the nights are now in the mid 60's which makes for great sleeping with the windows open. It's awesome listening to the Ocean at night. Things are a bit quieter now that all the schools are back to work. The big show will be in a couple of weeks when Wing Over Water happens and we will be busy with the Birding Folks who will come from every where to see the Migrations , both Birds and Birders. All the ponds at Pea Island and all the Impoundments in Alligator River will turn white with Tundra Swans and Snow Geese. At Pea Island we will have many of the same and we will also have the White Pelicans and every duck in the books passing through. I have been busy doing a few chores on the RV and we are ready to go at the end of the month. Looking forward to being back in Texas . We will miss all the Family in the North East for the Holidays but will not miss the cold and snow.
          The Family thing at Sea Scape went fast as always and I think all had a good time this year . Just doing nothing and enjoying the company is always good.                     G
