Plum Island

Plum Island is a beautiful, picturesque island about an hour north of where I live. I picked the perfect day to go - temperature was about 10 degrees cooler than it had been for weeks and the sky was cloudy but not gloomy. Plum Island is a pretty unique place; one side is all marshland and the other has lovely beaches. I believe it's also a bird sanctuary. While I did see a few interesting birds I also saw a lot of another native New England species, the mosquito.
