A few years back on a trip with Gail and Billie we stopped by a newly formed sandbar in the Gulf. To my amazement there were 6 Avocets on this little spit of sand. In 22 years I had not seen this bird on the out islands. We named this little sandbar "Avocet Island". The sandbar would appear then disappear over the years. Well this week Gail and crew were here and the sandbar has appeared in recent days. It is the biggest I have seen this sandbar aka Avocet Island and it now has a little lagoon in the middle. Mother Nature provided good shells and clear water on this trip to Avocet Island, but we will have to see what she does in the coming weeks.
Thanks for joining me on another adventure.

I was beyond excited when you said that Avocet Island had reappeared in time for us to explore!! I can't describe the feeling of standing on that spit of new land, with just us and the birds, the shells and the sound of the sea all around us. So peaceful. We always learn new things every visit we have with you. And someday, that Lion's Paw will turn up!! Thanks again for another wonderful morning!
This looks like it was another awesome trip. The new sand spit, Avocet island, sounds special!
So much fun to be on Avocet Island!!! Nice Shark's Eye, too :-)
