if you can just stay off your cell phone and pay attention to what’s around you, you may find Animals and insects, include: terns, marsh wrens, diamondback terrapin, muskrats, osprey, bald eagles, various ducks and waterfowl, snakes and lizards, frogs, and toads, , fish, eels, dear, Fox, and much much much more.
