I'm running a bit behind in my posting this week - what follows were sightings from last Sunday while I was doing my Plover Patrol.
 |
| This time of the year the Sanderlings are claiming their territory and I find it fascinating to watch them as they puff themselves up or crouch down. |
 |
| These two came side-by-side and faced each other for several seconds and eventually parting ways. |
 |
| Then I spotted the Snowy Plover chicks with their mama - boy, have they grown in just 20 days. |
 |
| Mama is doing a swell job keeping her two chicks safe and sound - so far so good. |
 |
| Then another family - an adult Yellow-crowned Night Heron with an immature... |
 |
| keeping an eye on the beach - on the look out for a juicy Ghost Crab. |
 |
| "Oh my! What beautiful eyes you have!" |
 |
| When the crabbing is not happening - it is time to fly to better pasture. |
 |
| A male Snowy Plover took the time to wave me on. As always - a walk on the beach is very rewarding. |
