Pink swirl.

Roseate Spoonbills bring out my little girl joy. I still have to edit about seventy-five photos of them from our anniversary birding trip, so be forewarned that you may see a lot of pink in my posts for a while. 🌸

Two elegant White Ibises forage in the gentle surf along the beaches of Sarasota, Florida, their vivid coral-orange bills standing out against the soft turquoise waters of the Gulf Coast.

Standing on its own. A fledgling American Oystercatcher stands on one leg on a pale, sandy beach. Its long bill is just starting to show the orange shade that is one of the species defining characteristics.

Watching these long-billed dowitchers feed in sync across the shallows at the refuge is mesmerizing 🪶

Greater and Lesser

I spotted these two birds along the rocky shoreline of a hidden pond in Albany, Georgia. They’re both yellowlegs, but two different species sharing the same stretch of shoreline. The bird in the upper left is a Greater Yellowlegs (Tringa melanoleuca), and the one in the lower right is a Lesser Yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes) — or at least that’s my best read of the scene.

Sometime last year I made a note on my calendar for May to try and get a Sanderling in breeding plumage before it heads north. A couple of days ago the beach was absolutely beautiful at sunset with a clear blue sky and a few puffy clouds here and there. I was happy to find quite a few Sanderlings feeding in the beautiful light and got a few nice shots.
