In the fall and winter the Bay is a popular stop-over for many species of ducks. Come hunting season I am besieged by request from my friends who hunt for scouting reports.
I hunt with my camera and my targets are unending: black bears forage the acorns in fall and the blueberries in the spring; white tail deer abound and, indeed, must be hunted to keep the population in healthy order; there are bald eagle nesting and perfect habitat for raptors like hawks and kites.
Wading birds like great egrets, blue herons and all the smaller herons make a good living in the shallow waters filled with mullet and other forage from eels to crawfish.
