I've been visiting this stretch of beach during the winter since the mid-90's, and in past years I've enjoyed seeing a blue heron during my walks and runs along the beach, often at dusk. Sightings were most common near the Camp Creek and Eastern Lake outlets, but it (or they--I only saw one heron at a time, but I'm not sure if it was always the same one) would sometimes venture east as far as Rosemary Beach. However, I haven't seen the heron yet this year, and I don't remember seeing it last year either. Has anyone seen any blue herons lately, or know of any currently living or wintering along 30-A?
