Hubby and I try and head to the beach at least once a month if not more depending on the weather. This trip we spent most of our time in the water. It was just too hot to sit and read a book. I didn't even feel like walking 30 minutes down to the fishing pier to take pictures. Since I had my camera with me I pulled it out and snapped a few pictures to show you our view each month.
We had 2 oystercatchers feeding right in front of us for a while. They hung out along the water's edge. I took this from the beach chair.
I realized when I got home that I have seen this one before. He's got the TT bands on each leg. I reported him on a banding site earlier in the spring.
When I turn around in my beach chair, this is what I see. There's a small trail through these sand dunes to get to the parking area.

ReplyDeleteLove those scenes.
ReplyDeleteREally pretty. Luckily I can't feel the heat :-)
Must be bad if it stopped you from taking bird pictures.
I wish I had that view from my chair;) Really nice pics!
ReplyDeleteLove the shot where the oystercatcher is wading in the wave!! His bill looks too long for the size of him!
ReplyDeleteI grew up a block form the Atlantic Ocean, but I never remember ever see an oystercatcher. I did not know anything about the ringing until I noticed the rings on the birds in your photos. Then I started searching the net trying to figure it all out. I am thinking that this is a way of tracking the population. I really have enjoyed this post. genie
