pulled to Parker River
The beach at the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge closes each year on April 1st for the piping plover nesting season. The birds own the 6 miles of oceanfront beach until the end of the nesting season when the young birds are walking, flying, and have left the beach.
It's a beautiful place. Today I felt pulled to the refuge to walk on the inland side of Plum Island and to visit the Sandy Point State Reservation at the southern tip of the island.
More photos from today's walk can be viewed in the gallery Parker River - 2013 starting with this photo and ending here.
