I do love the beach, and while I despise the winter, I admittedly love winter on the beach. I especially love a snowy beach, if the sand wasn't pretty enough, snow covered sand is even more so. Undisturbed snow covered sand, now that's an absolute bonus. So I left for work earlier than needed to go for a walk on the freshly fallen snow- and admittedly, my first chance to bird in the new year.

| Gulls the main beach goers among iconic Coney Island. |

| A ring-billed gull shows us how winter survival is done. |

| A warm beak and a menacing stare. |

| Snow brightens up the scenery on a grey morning, as well as this young herring gull. |
Even in the coldest weather you can be rewarded with quiet, beautiful scenery, and some wonderful wildlife!
