Flighty

A mixed flock of Bonaparte's gulls and sandpipers foraged peacefully on the shore at Willow Point. I approached them carefully, one slow step at a time, stopping often to pretend I was just another rock. It didn't work. They're too smart for me.


Mostly Bonaparte's gulls, 4 sandpipers, and one plover. And their reflections.

The breeding adults have black heads; younger ones are grey and white with a black smudge behind the eye.

And the one semi-trusting gull. But he's watchful.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
