  • McMillan Fort Morgan Fishing Pier

    Fort Morgan, AL, March 2026 After the hikes and beach, Kate did not feel like there was a need to tour Fort Morgan. John felt like they should go to the Fort Morgan end of the peninsula to take a picture, since we drove all this way already. Kate concurred, so we went to the…

  • Bon Secour Beach

    Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge, AL, April 2026 After hiking, we ate and went to the beach. On the way to the beach, we had to pass the sand dunes. The dunes were probably as tall me and home to the local mice population. We did not see mice but did see holes in the sand.…

  • Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge Hike

    Gasque, AL, April 2026 The lady at the visitor center wanted to know if we wanted to see song birds or shore birds. John said that he did not care how certain the birds were. He was fine with shore birds or unshore birds. He doesn’t think the lady understood the joke. She told us…

  • Is that a Dragon Fly or a Flagon Dry?

    Escatawpa Hollow State Park, AL, April 2026 Have you even seen a Dragonfly trip? We think his blood alcohol content is above the legal limit. We think he was hanging out under our steps to get out of the wind. This just happened to be a lucky sequence of pictures when a gust of wind…

  • Alabama has Alligators too

    River Delta Marina, AL, March 2026 Kate saw it last year. We both saw it this year. Alabama has Alligators too. When we stopped at the marina, it was hiding from the Paparazzi at the end of the pond. They certainly blend in well. Kate lost track of him and could not find him again.…

  • Bon Secour National Wildlife Reserve Visitor Center

    Gasque, AL, April 2026 Kate wanted to get a cancel stamp at Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, so we planned a visit on Thursday. The drive from the campground is about two hours because you have to drive around Mobile and then south to the shore. The cancel stamp is at the visitor center, but…

  • They Are So Cold Blooded …

    Escatawpa Hollow State Park, AL, March 2026 … because they are amphibians and reptiles. There is a depression behind site 4. If it rains enough, it fills with water. When we got here, it was pretty full, but it dried up to mud. We realized there were tadpoles in it about week two, so we…

  • Dauphin Island Birds

    Dauphin Island, AL, March 2026 This is an extension of the exploration post with more of the bird photos and videos. The first Snowy Egret did a fair amount of hoping from rock to rock. A few times, it got in a little too deep and the waves tossed it around. There is a video…

  • Dauphin Island Exploration

    Dauphin Island, AL, March 2026 The original island name was “Massacre Island” because in 1600s a French explorer found the island with piles of Native American skeletal remains. It turns out the remains were due to a hurricane breaking open a burial mound. Later, the island was renamed to Isle Dauphine to honor Dauphine of…
