Good morning. 🌅🌊🍵

We’re doing a little traveling in May. We’ll head up to Arkansas to watch our granddaughter graduate from college, then turn west into Oklahoma to meet our newest great‑granddaughter. It’s not a huge trip—maybe three days of driving altogether—mixed with “camping out” in hotels. And honestly, the hotel life is something we enjoy now and then. There’s a certain rugged adventure in surviving the Holiday Inn Express, the Marriott, or the Sheraton, where only the truly hardened can endure.
It’s a strange moment when you realize you’re old enough to be a great‑grandparent. It hits with that “oh my, what happened” feeling. One day you’re fine, and the next—boom—you’re ancient. You’re still here, of course, but you’re no longer part of the machinery that keeps society running. That’s all been handed off to younger generations, except for the few of us who refuse to step aside quietly. Instead, we keep inserting ourselves into the fray until the end, dragging as many people with us as possible. Do I really believe that? Probably not entirely—but that’s what came out. It’s complicated.
In stories and shows, you never see a group of seventy‑somethings working in an office or partying until dawn. Well, except for The Golden Girls. People in their seventies and eighties have appointments and regimens to keep. Speaking of which, I need to make sure I have enough meds for the trip. 😂

An American Oystercatcher at Pt. Lookout, NY, on 4/12. The bird is thermoregulating, not injured. Note the band. If you see a banded bird (and can determine the color and read the code), it is important to report the information, as it is critical for conservation efforts. They can be reported here: https://amoywg.org/banding-re-sighting/

Purple Plovers sometimes share rocky habitats with Dunlins and Sanderlings, although the former favor marshes and the latter prefer sandy beaches. One of the ways they avoid competition is through their ability to feed on nearly vertical rock faces in the intertidal zone. Spiderman peeps!

They're called elegant terns, but their spiky head feathers have a tendency to look like bedhead. Marjorie Powell welcomes the migratory birds back to Alameda, and Rick Lewis shares photos. https://alamedapost.com/features/nature/inelegant-elegant-terns-arrive-winter-shorebirds-prepare-leave/
