Thanks for sharing those photos, Faith, and being a part of the group. Your appreciation of the island is evident. I agree it was a fantastic day – more of those are waiting.

Bull Island is one of my very favorite places and nothing is finer than to learn about it from someone who loves it even more than I do and knows it like the back of his hand! This was the second all-day Bull Island hike I’ve been on with Bob leading the way. (Chris Crolley did a great job of co-leading last year.) We had a perfect day for our expedition, and learned so much along the way! The beach was pristine and tide had washed up many beautiful shells that Bob identified for us. We learned about the maritime forest, beach erosion, the “bones” at Boneyard Beach, the history of Bull Island, the island’s elusive mascot, “Gatorzilla”, and much more, as we traversed the 11 miles of beach and natural wilderness. It was a fantastic day and I hope to go on many more of these hikes. I come back, feeling refreshed and with a better understanding and appreciation of the beauty and richness of this area. Thank you Bob, for sharing your knowledge and insights! Thank you Coastal Expeditions for giving us access to this “treasure” of an island!

what a great trip for those new to the island and many things new to even those of us very familiar with it!

Yes, I miss the islands when I am not able to get out. Winter is a wonderful time in the refuge. Looking forward to hatchery building on Cape in April. Hope there will be enough island left for another big nesting season!
