I was taking photos and scared it. It ran into to me and bit me on the nipple and wouldn’t let go. Here’s the news article https://www.the-sun.com/news/2169452/snorkeler-attacked-nurse-shark-nipple/
Big shoutout to Rich, Chris, and Billy at Caloosa Marina for getting it off of me.
Hurt a lot.

Rare, first county record. Sighted first around 2pm in a loose flock of other Warblers. Female/imm. type. Was not sighted again the next morning. Me and another birder talked about it and we think our recent cold front brought it in.

Gorgeous Owl. Unconcerned with people, hunting in burned area and vocalizing a chirping call.
