Elliot Couse Nature Trail
The Elliot Couse Nature Trail is a 3 1/4 mile loop hike found in Fort Macon State Park. This well maintained footpath leads through maritime forest, past a saltmarsh estuary environment and through the dune zone along the beach. It is popular with hikers, dog walkers, joggers, bird watchers and cyclists. I spent a morning along the wooded section on a late September day.

Love the bird photos. I can never get close enough to get snapshots on my little point-and-shoot.
I ching says “Perseverance furthers” and this post shows the results! Bird photography is one of the toughest topics
Some great shots of the live oaks, but particularly the birds. The heron was a great capture and composition. There is a bit too much repetition in the text though. I think you told me the length of the trail at least 3 times. I don’t think google likes that.
That nature trail looks amazing, Bob. It is very nicely presented here in photographs and narrative. The black and white images of the old oak trees with their unwieldly limbs and gnarly bark are outstanding.
