Happy #NationalBirdDay!

A Black Skimmer flying over sea oats against a pinkish-gray dusk sky. Black Skimmers are tern-like birds with long bills, reddish-orange at the base, with lower mandibles that are longer than the tops. They are black on top, white underneath, with black caps and white faces, and reddish-orange legs.

One of my favorites from 2024. Black Skimmers are such cool birds, from their graphic colors to their barking yip calls.

Two Black Skimmers standing close together, facing left, at the edge of sand dunes with patches of green grass; the one in the back is looking down and the other straight ahead with its beak open. Black Skimmers are tern-like birds with long bills, reddish-orange at the base, with lower mandibles that are longer than the tops. They are black on top, white underneath, with black caps and white faces, and reddish-orange legs.

#Christmas #holidays #birds

Perfect bird interpretation of the after-holiday-whirlwind mood on this third day of Christmas.

Two Black Skimmers (tern-like bird, white throat and face, black and white body, long tail, very long bill that is black with orange close to the face, and the lower mandible is longer than the upper) are laying flat on the sand at the edge of a sand dune dotted with green beach grass, and and third one on the right is curled up in a ball, a juvenile (mottled pale brown, and white) is laying behind them between two clumps of grass.

A full moon #FridayFlashback.

A full moon shines on the calm water of the Atlantic Ocean.m creating a white shimmery swath in the middle, from the horizon to the sand.

Just three days left and I’m already missing summer. #ThrowbackThursday #HerringGull

A first winter herring gull (mottled white and brown plumage, pinkish base on the bill) stands in the surf at the ocean’s edge in front of the froth of a breaking wave.

Any chance of reversing time and going back to the cusp of the season of warm salty-aired days?

Tiny sandpiper flapping and foraging in the foam created by days of wind and high surf.

Tiny Least Sandpiper, brown and white on top and white below, with its wings lifted as it forages in the foam and sea reeds washed up at the edge of the pale blue water.

This Royal Tern appears unmoved by the juvenile’s squawking. #sideeye

Royal Tern juvenile squawking at a non-breeding adult, presumably begging for food. Large terns with orange bills, black legs, white and pale gray and a shaggy black crest at the back of the head; juvenile still has white and black pattern in it’s sides. More Royal Terns and Black Skimmers can be seen on the sand in the intentionally blurred background.

Twilight flight.

A Black Skimmer flying toward the left just above sea oats against a hazy twilight sky that has a creamy pink hue at the top fading into blue at the bottom. Sea oats are tall dune grasses with spiky seed pods at the top. Black Skimmers are tern-like birds with long bills, reddish-orange at the base, with lower mandibles that are longer than the tops. They are black on top, white underneath, with black caps and white faces.

Fleet of foot … a Willet scampering near a submerged object at the water’s edge.

A Willet (tall sandpiper, mostly gray plumage, gray legs, and a long black bill that is shaded gray close to the face) running toward the left on wet sand, in front of two buried pilings covered in sea algae, a red warning float attached to the lefthand one by a heavy metal chain, at the edge of the water.
