It's hot here, in the nineties during the day, but it cools down at
night.... to eighty. The humidity makes it feel hotter than the temperature
would indicate; add fifteen degrees. It felt oppressive the first day, but
now it just feels hot.
Pelicans crash headlong into the surf a few feet from us as we walk on the
beach. All the gulls here in August are laughing gulls, except for those
two ring billed gulls we saw. Ring billed are not a big gull, but they
looked so big compared to the laughing gulls. Terns in August are a
different story. The beach is a ternfest. There are eight different terns
here.
Back at the RV Park, eight black-bellied whistling ducks did a noisy
flyover.
