Hello Hans,
 Can you tell me how to get to Duncan reef. I was out to Duncan's cove yesterday and could not make it to the reef.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Paul Ruggles.

I arrive here, scatter the birds, and sit down in a comfortable location and await their return which only takes minutes. The peeps were so close to me, less than 6 feet, that I couldn't focus my camera properly whereas the turnstones came within 10 feet, some squabbling over the best feeding grounds. This is two step foraging for the birds, that is there is something to eat at every second step.
