Winter shorebirds & white pelicans

Fires when in season; Fort De Soto north beach lagoon at low tide

The weekly build has been paused since October 6, 2026. The seasons and dates below still hold. Events are the ones the last finished build found, in the week of 2026-09-13, that have not happened yet — anything announced since is missing, and nothing here reflects this week's weather.

October through March. The notch is October.

No date. in season or not — this one is decided by the weather, not by the calendar, so the honest answer is a month rather than a day.

From the field

Low tide is the whole appointment. The lagoon empties, the birds concentrate, and two hours later there is nothing to photograph.
