Sun, Cloud and Ocean

 A couple of wide angle environmental shots from the same location looking in opposite directions. There are a few shorebirds to be found in both, Semipalmated Plovers being the most obvious.

Red-winged Blackbirds in Flight

 I spent a few evenings in early Summer trying to get flight shots of male Red-winged Blackbirds. These are some of the better attempts.

Ruddy Turnstone - Rocky Shoreline

 One from yesterday.  There were lots of turnstones on the beach, several sanderlings and three juvenile Piping Plovers among a few other species.  Very few birds in the marsh which I found surprising. This will be my first shorebird photo of this year although not the last. One of the many Ruddy Turnstones in the area in what is a typical setting for these birds.

Common Yellowthroat

 I believe this is the same bird as the one silhouetted in the sun. Very close to the location of that shot and a bird that has been very visible most times I've been there as it likely was feeding young ones in the vicinity.
