Flight of the Purple Sandpipers

Look what the storm brought in, on the backshore’s wave washed rocks! I don’t often see Purple Sandpipers in such large numbers.

These pot bellied shorebirds mostly forage along rocky shores and especially love periwinkles

The storm also delivered a flock of Scaups (very weary), Killdeers, and Scoters. Spring migration is underway! And the five American Pipits are still here 🙂
