Our weekend trip to Assateague was beautiful. We've had good luck with weather and bugs over the years. Next time we plan to go kayaking on the bay side. You have to book camping spots at least 6 months in advance. Pocomoke is an alternate spot to stay with much less lead time required. It's about a 20 mile drive to the beach tho.
Glaucous Gull - we've become bird-watchers. There are egrets in the bay, all sorts of gulls near the ocean. It's still hard to tell one gull from another.

Trying out the zoom lens on the new camera
That big bird has a whole fish in its' claws. I saw it coming from the beach and rushed to have the camera on and ready for a weird 'into the sun' kind of shot. It worked pretty well.
I love the vegetation at the beach. It's a delicate environment and these plants thrive.
