It’s shorebird migration time here, Downeast. I’ve not had time to get to the beach to watch, but I paused today when I saw them in the marshy area near the river today. I’m not sure if they are Sandpipers, Yellowlegs, or something else.
The red marsh grass (glasswort possibly) is a beautiful contrast.
Things were calm; the birds were noodling around in the shallows.
Until they weren’t, and the birds took flight in a flurry of screeching only to circle and land again.
It made sense when I saw this picture on my computer – a hawk making a fly-by.
