Gull-billed Tern

This is not a confident ID, but it’s my best guess! And it just so happens to be a new (to me) species.

Snowy Egret

I didn’t expect this to be a new species, just another egret! But Merlin thinks it is and on inspection I agree! Snapping pictures of every bird I see does pay off! …occasionally.

Semipalmated Plover

Another high quality plover for my collection! One of the classic scuttling birds!

Barn Swallow

A barn swallow? On the beach? There aren’t any barns here!

Red-shouldered Hawk

Gonna be honest, I don’t think the Red Shoulders are particularly prominent on this hawk.

Semipalmated Sandpiper

According to wikipedia, these tiny shorebirds are “hard to distinguish form other shorebirds” and ain’t that the truth. However, they’re quite charming no matter their name!

Eastern Kingbird

A mini monarch of the east! Pictured here amongst his verdant kingdom!

A pair of oystercatchers, taking a rest after chasing down some of their swift prey!

Ruby-throated Hummingbird

What a tiny little guy sitting so way up high! (And on a very windy day too!)

Ruddy Turnstone

Searching for food turning over one stone at a time!

Mordio Crow 7/9/26 Mordio Crow 7/9/26

Willet

A lone photo of a lone bird, pecking it’s way down the shore!

Mordio Crow 7/8/26 Mordio Crow 7/8/26

Osprey

A striking hawk of the sea whose name sets it apart as well!

Note: there is a second image of this bird in the gallery where it has a dead fish, so be wary of that/avoid clicking in if you don’t want to see it!

Black-crowned Night Heron

This night-heron doesn’t seem too pleased with being photographed during the day… but what striking colors, especially that bright eye!

Mordio Crow 7/6/26 Mordio Crow 7/6/26

Piping Plover

The lovely, curious, and tragically threatened Piping Plover! It’s incredibly important to support conservation to protect birds like these little guys!
