      Another Lifer at Gulf State Park, Lake Shelby
On Christmas day someone reported 600 American Coot at Lake Shelby, a part of the Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Well, 600 coots sounds pretty fun so the following morning I made my way to the lake.

      A Lifer at Big Lagoon
Big Lagoon State Park was a 15 minute drive from Blue Angel Park so I went there in search of birds. According to eBird, there were some recent sightings of Hooded Mergansers and Loons at the park, so that’s what I went there to find.
 
      
      Birding Aboard Naval Air Station Jacksonville
If you are able to go aboard a military installation, then let me recommend that you look for birds aboard Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville. Like many military installations, it contains a number of habitats that are fantastic for birds and other wildlife.
