May 4th and 5th, 2012 Unseasonably warm with high tides. Last week the marbled godwits and skimmers were here and returning migrants. Strikingly more bird varieties and breeding plumage made me think I had identified a new variety for me only to be the breeding Dunlin. Sunday was a treat since I was able to photograph my first Wilson's Plover, following some close shots of a Common Loon straggler in Taylor's Creek. Pics include the plover and loon and a favorite...a few Whimbrel.
