Birds

400! We made it to four hundred birds. Short-eared owls on the access road between the highway and the beach at dusk. They like to hang around in the dunes during the day. Gull-billed tern giving us a low altitude, low speed flyby, and least bittern. We went to the marsh and watched and watched until Judy spotted it. Secretive little guy. Got a ten second look. Least bittern! Number 400. Ten seconds wasn’t enough to get a picture. Here he is from the internet.

Birds

Can you see the snipe in this picture? There is a sipe hiding in the dried seaweed on the oysterbed. Practically invisible, isn’t he?
He seems to think so, anyway.

Birds

We went in search of the stilt sandpiper. We found the cute little semipalmated plover. We found the even littler western sandpiper. We found the spotted sandpiper and the snipe. Found the american oystercatcher. Judy took a great picture of the oystercatcher, but the camera disk died. We bought a new disk, and got a picture of the oystercatcher from the internet.
Next…. the stilt sandpiper.
