A dunlin prepares to eat a worm it just pulled from the sand along Plymouth Beach, Massachusetts
On a late spring trip to Plymouth Beach, I had the good fortune of watching a flock of dunlin feeding in front of the rising tide. While I've previously photographed dunlin catching clams on Plum Island, it was a new experience to see this one pull out a worm from the exposed sediments.

ReplyDeleteWonderful picture! Managed to get some similar shots of oystercatchers a few years back.
ReplyDeletePuffins are a bit of a dream bird - but if you get a chance to see (and photograph) them you may be surprised at how small they are - about 12 inches.
