The nice thing about a kayak, is besides getting to places a land lubber can't reach, it can also save you money. Today, I went birding at the Charlestown mudflats. Without my kayak, I would have had to pay the non-resident fee at Charlestown Beach. Since I had my kayak, I just launched at the free boat ramp. My paddle was about ten minutes. Paddling my 'yak for ten minutes saved me twelve bucks (considering I go birding at the mudflats four or five times a year, the savings really add up).
Birding was only okay today. There were a lot of shorebirds. They were all the usual suspects. The best bird I saw was white rumped sandpiper. However, as you can see by the photo, I came across some littlenecks. They turned into a nice treat when I got home.
