Royal Terns and sandpipers enjoy the solitude of the Caribbean Ocean on St. Maarten. Royal terns are quite common in the Caribbean islands and feed close to the beach.

I encountered a party of eight juvenile Pectoral Sandpipers at the Boundary Bay Wildlife Management Area as September 2018 passed its halfway mark. Like the other shorebirds who normally prefer the grassier, less muddy parts of the beach to forage from, these medium-sized migratory shorebirds did not mind me in their midst. Photographed on a sunny and slightly breezy afternoon on a fairly low high tide that let me walk out a few hundred feet from shore to observe the visiting fauna in close quarters.

Southport Lagoon, Tasmania, Australia 3H1011.8637 Nikon D300 | Sigma 120-400OS @ 400mm 1/2500s f/9 ISO500 | Raw Featured in Beach, River and Lake Treasures (13 November 2010)

As a fan of both Shakespeare and shorebirds, this scene might be alternatively captioned "Baird(s) on the Beach." My meeting them in such close quarters was an unexpected pleasure; a small contingent of these tiny migrant sandpipers (all juveniles!) was completely at ease with the photographer in their midst, and continued to feed nonchalantly on aquatic bugs or park themselves on top of the mounds of seaweed nearby. Photographed over the Labour Day 2018 long weekend.

Seven sweet little sandpipers along the edge of reflective water. Neutral colors with beautiful manganese blue and raw umber weaving throughout.

Sandpipers add to the natural beauty and biodiversity of the Gulf Coast beaches and make for an enjoyable wildlife-watching experience for beach-goers during the spring and fall migratory season.

After getting used to the presence of a photographer in their midst, the entire flock of 100+ Sanderlings suddenly decided to take to the skies, and circle the shore just above the water several times. Photographed in late February 2015 at Boundary Bay Regional Park in sunny Tsawwassen, British Columbia, Canada.
