Here are a bunch of photos taken on Bolivar Peninsula in Texas, one of the best shorebirding spots on the entire Gulf Coast!
 |
A Dunlin in its subdued nonbreeding plumage. |
 |
A very small portion of the 1000 or so American Avocets present! |
 |
Long-billed Curlew-look at that bill! |
 |
Burrowing Owl-I was watching a Reddish Egret on one side of the road,
only to turn around and find this owl watching me from the other side. |
 |
'Nother Dunlin-these guys were pretty bold and got quite close at times. |
 |
Marbled Godwit-one of my favorite shorebirds. |
 |
Red Knot-I don't get to see this species nearly enough, it had been a few
years. This was the duller of two present. |
 |
Reddish Egret-The egret that I was watching while the Burrowing
Owl watched me. |
 |
Western Sandpiper-not exactly colorful but still a beautiful bird. |
