Sailed my 20 foot double bowed boat all over the Barnegat Bay in the late 60’s, fond & wistful memories of my youth.

my in-laws are across the lagoon from this nest, and we love going down to visit - have not been able to for the past year, so this cam is a treat

It would be so cool to find a shed feather that had been repaired like this.
