Dunlin Drift

These are dunlins (Calidris alpina). I came upon a group hunkered down in the sand—most of them sleeping, tucked into the terrain like scattered leaves. When I got too close, they stirred and took flight.

I captured this photograph in Gulfport, Mississippi.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

The last week has been fairly quiet on the photography front, so I went looking through my library to find something to post that I hadn't shown yet. Which is when I realized I'd done a whole day trip out to the coast in April that I'd never written about!

This was another result of a migration alert on BirdCast, which I mentioned in a prior post. I have an alert set for the Aberdeen / Grays Harbor area, and when it pinged in late April I decided to head down and see what kind of shots I could get.

Heron and the Tide’s Tiny Travelers

Birds both great and small fill this frame, creating a dynamic coastal scene. In the foreground, a majestic great blue heron (Ardea herodias) dominates the image, its wings poised in motion as it takes off, lands, or simply shifts its position on the beach. Below, tiny dunlins dart across the mudflats, busily foraging for food in the damp terrain. Midway up on the left, a slightly out-of-focus sanderling adds another layer to the composition, subtly blending into the background.

Explore a curated collection of heron and egret images in my photo gallery. Take a look!

Ha Cha Cha Cha

This dunlin (Calidris alpina) kind of reminds me of an old-time movie star. Any guesses?

You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.

Take a look:

Where Are You Going

I saw these dunlins (Calidris alpina) on the beach at Gulfport, Mississippi.

"Dazzling in its breeding finery, with vivid rusty back and black belly patch, the Dunlin was once called the Red-backed Sandpiper. It’s now named for its nonbreeding plumage, a mousy gray-brown or “dun” color. Dunlins are an abundant species that nests around the world’s arctic regions. They winter in large flocks along bays, estuaries, and coastlines. They have notably long, curved bills but they don’t probe deeply into mud; instead, they tend to feed on invertebrates just barely below the surface." - allaboutbirds.org
