Fourth Annual Kevin Karlson Shorebird Day at DeKorte was a great success, with some amazing birds — including the young and mostly cooperative Tricolored Heron, several Least Bitterns, an American White Pelican (below, thanks to Fred Virazzi and Chris Takacs) , a Peregrine, Ospreys … Well, you get the picture.

Between the walks, the talks and the photography workshop, the event drew more than 100 people. A big thank you to Kevin, his colleague Lloyd Spitalnik, and to all the fine folks who shared their day with us.

We will post more pix and a ful bird list in the coming week.
