A Day for the Birds

I went for a long hike today, over to Sachuest Point, Sachuest Beach, and the salt marsh behind Third Beach. Not all the shots I took turned out well, but these three I can live with.

A curious Killdeer came to investigate in the Third Beach parking lot.

  1. ...that Piping Plover is adorable. I love his sweet, sweet face. Nice Chipping Sparrow too. I always love the eyes on Kildeer! Sounds like a good day! (Rainy and cold here...)
