Last winter, this deceptively cute little murder birdie was perched on my neighbor's roof. An American kestrel.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ShoreBirds. I had never even heard of a Surfbird until I saw one in #SonomaCounty #California. Winter range is among the longest and narrowest of any No. American bird, Alaska to Chile. But winter range extends inland only a few yards above the tide line." 🪶

Happy mid-week friends... today's #BirdOfTheDay, #Shorebirds features a pair of migrators whose visit last weekend, gave me a chance to photograph them. An American Golden Plover (fall color) and its diminutive cousin, a Semipalmated Plover. #Birds #BirdingOH #wildlife #Naturephotography #ECK🪶📷🦉

Casting a Long Shadow

Many #ShoreBirds sport long legs, but Laughing Gulls, with crow-sized bodies, boast wingspans up to 48 inches.

These opportunistic omnivores play clean-up crew from beaches, here at Isle of Palms, SC, to points far inland.
