The magnificent, adorable, and dangerous breeding season for both shorebirds and seabirds along the Florida Panhandle.

Linking the mainland of the Florida Panhandle to the barrier island of Navarre Beach, half the bridge structure slopes to the water as sandy edges and sea wall. Cars whiz past the nesting sites, mere feet from where the seabirds incubate their eggs and where their chicks will inevitably explore.
