  1. Soft Steps in the Foam

    This sanderling (Calidris alba) appears to tiptoe through the surf at Gulfport, Mississippi. It’s always amusing to watch sanderlings chase the waves, darting in and out as they search for whatever treasures the latest retreating wave uncovers.

  3. #Vancouver #YYJ - a fab #Decolonized #Birding event coming up! Special Bird Service events are excellent #decolonization programs in the BC birding world ❤️

    Magnificent Migration: #Sandpipers Shenanigans. You'll see thousands of them!

    When: Saturday, April 25th, 2026, from 11:00 am–2:00 pm

    Where: Brunswick Point, Delta (meeting location shared closer to date)

    Target Species: #WesternSandpiper

    This gentle shoreline walk will centre sandpipers and the many winged travellers who rest and refuel at Boundary Bay on their incredible journeys. Expect communal watching, storytelling, and an appreciation of small movements—of wings, tides, and time. Whether you’re a long-time birder or just getting started, this event is grounded in care, connection, and curiosity.

    What to expect:

    • Easy walking on flat dyke trail
    • Sandpiper identification tips and shared observations
    • Inclusive, welcoming scenes for all experience levels
    • Binoculars & scopes to borrow
    • Rest breaks, snacks, and educational story-sharing

    This event is hosted on the Stolen, Traditional and Ancestral territories of the sc̓əwaθenaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsawwassen), S’ólh Téméxw (Stó:lō), Semiahmoo, and Stz’uminus Nations.

    Who We Are

    #SpecialBirdService (SBS) creates #inclusive and restorative pathways into nature, with a focus on birding, experiential education, and community care.

    #Birding and #OutdoorEducation have historically been dominated by white, colonial norms that have excluded and marginalized Global Majority communities. We hold space intentionally to challenge those histories and to support belonging, healing, and relationship-building in nature.

    Our work is grounded in:

    Ecological stewardship
    Mental health advocacy
    Anti-racism and equity
    Generational knowledge sharing
    Community-led care and accountability

    * This event is part of Special Bird Service’s monthly #BirdingBeyondBarriers series; a collaboration with Nocs Provisions designed to make community-driven birding more #accessible with a focus on deep observation, curiosity and connection. Each walk will highlight different target species and ecosystems throughout the year. Bring your binoculars or borrow a pair from us, courtesy of our friends at Nocs Provisions, and let’s spot our feathered friends together! *

  5. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🐦🌀 If you've ever spotted a shorebird spinning in circles on the water, you might have wondered if it was okay.

    Wilson's #phalaropes actually spin to create a small vortex that sucks #invertebrates up to the surface. It's a clever way to forage for food that some say makes them look like "demented wind-up toys."

  9. 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.

    A look at the opening match of the 2025 #WAshes and also at a Melbourne Derby in the BBL that was turned upside down by the ultimate Big Show from Maxwell. Also a very large photo gallery.

  17. Good morning, ☕☕☕

    6 April 2024

    "Come Saturday morning
    I'm goin' away with my friend
    Well Saturday-spend 'til the end of the day-ay
    Just I and my friend
    We'll travel for miles in our Saturday smiles
    And then we'll move on
    But we will remember
    Long after Saturday's gone ..." - Fred Karlin, Dory Previn

    For some reason this song, performed by The Sandpipers, jumped in my head this morning as I stumbled around the house ... well it is Saturday after all. Hmmm ... they weren't actually performing the song this morning ... I mean they originally performed the song back in the 60s. It was a 1969 movie track song for The Sterile Cuckoo and also release in an album, same name in 1970.

    “Saturday morning came, and all the summer world was bright and fresh, and brimming with life.” - Mark Twain
