Howdy!

This is an amazing story from a birder in NJ that was shared on the 
Carolinabirds listserve. Stunning photos and a great poem, too.

Happy, SAFE birding!! Peace, Karen

Last Sunday, I fell on the jetty at Barnegat Light State Park
while photographing Harlequins and other sea birds. I am sharing
the following with you for a couple of reasons, 1) I am still here
to tell the tale and 2) hopefully, you will all be very, very careful
whenever and wherever you go birding.

As I found out,it doesn't take much to get into a dangerous situation.
August has been trying to rein me in for a couple of years 
now...Barnegat
has taught me my lesson.

Please click on the following link to see a poem and some of the 
photographs
memorizing the occasion:
