Yesterday afternoon, we went for a walk at Heron's Head. I was happy to see at least three black-bellied plovers hunting along the shoreline. This one, however, stood still and took in the views as gentle waves lapped across their feet.

I turned around and saw something small and white scuttle across the sand. While I was distracted taking photos of gulls and pelicans, a flock of tiny snowy plovers had flown in behind me.
A few ran around while most curled up in the sand, which camouflaged them perfectly. There were about a dozen that I could see, and at least two had multiple bands on their legs.
On the walk back, I had to go around them; I kept my distance while paying close attention to where I stepped, and the birds remained in their spots. We walked on wet, compacted sand nearer the water for the remaining beach trek.

One of the most delightful birding moments I’ve had was seeing three Piping Plover chicks last year, so I thought this little one would make a good stand-in today for my son on his birthday.

Imagination: I've learned an ancient crow secret, and they know.
Reality: A couple of crows were digging mole crabs from the sand like whimbrels, and this bird briefly glanced toward the camera between bites.
Random observation: Unlike whimbrels, the crows didn't rinse any sand from the unlucky crabs before digging in.

They were early, I guess.
After pulling the worm from the mud, the bird walked to the water's edge to rinse the mud away before enjoying.

One of my favorites from 2024. Black Skimmers are such cool birds, from their graphic colors to their barking yip calls.
