ReplyDeletethat was a very pale Ruddy turnstone. Guess it is not breeding time. :) It is a beauty anyway.

Didn't know you had Ruddy turnstones there. We get them here in summer. Love the skimmers.
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen, I have never seen so many birds in one place. Thank you for hosting and have a beautiful day!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful shorebirds.
ReplyDeleteHelloo, So nice post and pics. Last pic just awesome.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
Incredible sea birds Eileen.
ReplyDeleteI'm always partial to the bonaparte's gull...they're so small and pink legs/feet. At least I see them as pink instead of orange. Maybe I'm color blind and didn't realize.
ohhh that are many of them. Nice shots.
ReplyDeletehappy weekend

ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ha ha?
Beautiful seabirds. Some of theme we can see here too.

I love the skimmers! Such an interestingly coloured beak!!! Great birds, as always!
ReplyDeleteI like those skimmers. So far, over the past ten years, I have seen only one in our local wetlands.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought black skimmers look comical, beautiful but comical.
ReplyDeleteLaughing Gulls always tickles me. Happy Day.
ReplyDeleteEileen, nice capture of the Ruddy Turnstone. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteLove the photos and I wish I could be on a warm beach to see the seagulls myself! But I had no idea there were different varieties of gulls, and Canadian Geese until we lived in Alaska and saw them there - Who knew, right? Okay, I've a feeling you did! :-)

ReplyDeleteThe skimmer looks like he's leading a parade!
ReplyDeleteHello Eileen,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures are in your post.
The Black Skimmers are really amazing. I have never seen this one.
With a lot of pleasure, this post has been reviewed again.

Hi Eileen...oh my I am not sure what is going on, it shows no comments and that has to be wrong. I so enjoyed seeing your Skimmers, the Mystery Bird that I only saw myself the first time this past February. I love to watch them skim over the top of the sea water, amazing flights. Hoping that you are doing well~
ReplyDeleteCan I consider my Ferns as critters? Lol. I guess not but still I have entered in your meme. What some gorgeous shots you have taken, especially the one where the birds are flying out. Almost a National Geographic Shot.
ReplyDeleteHi There, You must be traveling!!!! I have missed your posts and your FB posts..... Hope--whatever you are doing --that you are having an awesome time...
ReplyDeleteGreat group of Birds... We are at the beach --and have seen several of the same birds here...
Hugs,
Betsy
