The best birding was at a spot called Spoonbill Pond on Big Talbot Island. Obviously there were Roseate Spoonbill there, along with a large flock of American White Pelican, some White Ibis, and lots of various heron spp. A Wood Stork put in an appearance on the second day.
The beach was interesting, but with far fewer species. Best birds were the 3 Sandwich Terns mixed in with the Royal Terns. Other species included 3 Brown Pelicans and several Willets.
The woodland around the park was supposed to hold a few good birds, but they were fairly thin on the ground. A Yellow-throated Warbler was nice, as was a roost of a hundred or so Purple Martins. Common Ground-Doves were in the grassy areas, a pair of Painted Buntings hung out at the feeder near the main gate, and Great Crested Flycatcher hawked over our tent.
