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🪶📷🦉

There are two birds in this photo. The larger of the two birds, an American Golden Plover is center right of frame, near the shoreline of an inlet pool, facing and looking viewer's right. The second bird, a Semipalmated plover is located in the lower left corner of the photo, facing and looking viewer's right, standing in a puddle of water. Both birds hung out for three days, waiting for the Northern winds to help carry them further south.

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.

A Laughing Gull, with long wings extended upward for takeoff, casts a long shadow on the beach. These birds eat almost anything, including garbage scraps, and don’t mind stealing untended snacks.

Helen’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme (via AtlanticBirding) is
#UrbanBirds; any bird in an Urban setting. This is really more suburban than urban, but here are some Cliff Swallows at their nests, built on the side of an interstate highway. #birds #birdphotography

For today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme #ShoreBirds, I offer this large, gregarious group of Black-winged Stilts (Himantopus himantopus) on a shore in Perth, Australia.

Photo of a large group (more than 20) white birds with black wings standing in shallow blue water on a shoreline. The birds' reflections show in the water. Pale rocky linear shoals are in the foreground with blue water between the rocks. Paler blue water and a few white birds flying are in the background.

My skills in identifying #ShoreBirds (today's #BirdOfTheDay theme) are still developing; I believe these are least sandpipers (I could definitely be wrong) but that's definitely a killdeer front and center. This photo is from early last April at Cochise Lake in southeast #Arizona. #Birds

Three individuals of one small wading bird species are on either side of an individual taller wading bird species in very shallow water. Both species are brown and white; the one in the middle is has darker brown coloration.

Ruddy Turnstone, Bolivar Flats (TX), March 2026
#birds #originalcontent #photography 📷🪶

A Ruddy Turnstone, a chunky shorebird, stands on the shoreline next to a bit of seaweed that is straw yellow and rust in color. The bird itself has mostly brown uppers with white and ruddy accents and a mostly white belly. The bird has a black eye and a largish slightly upturned black beak. The background is beach and rippling brownish bay water.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay #Alt is #UrbanBirds.
This is about as urban as you get. These sparrows had no problem building a nest in that mess of wires.

My favourite #Shorebirds for #WaderWednesday and #BirdoftheDay - Least Sandpipers, or fun-size Sandpipers sounds better. #Birds #eck 🪶

A group of Least Sandpiper (Calidris minutilla) resting on a rock near the water in Marin County, California. These small shorebirds are distinguished from the similar Western Sandpiper (Calidris mauri) by their yellowish-green legs and shorter, slightly decurved bills.
