Sneaking up on Canada geese, watching their eyes, trying not to disturb them, I didn't even notice the turnstones. But they were there all the time.
 |
| "Tras lomita" (Mexican expression, "Just over the little hill.") |
After the geese left, I walked around the tip of the sandbar and found them waiting for me.
 |
| Five black turnstones, Arenaria melanocephala. The Latin name means Sandy dark-head. Others of our peeps have more white or beige on their heads. |
 |
| Follow the leader. I make the sixth in the procession. |
 |
| In flight. |
Oyster Bay, at mid-tide.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
