Wonderful photos this week V.J. Great variety too! We saw about 20 Killdeer on January 6th at St. Marks. It was quite something, considering there were 5000 shorebirds out there in one bog. We didn’t see a Killdeer all of last year. 🙂

Yes me too. They are cool to watch too especially when they are protecting their nest. 🙂

These are great! I don’t think I’ve ever been told off by a sparrow before.
