A piping plover in full aggressive mode. This week seems to have had a lot of bird drama in the Rockaways area. The piping plovers, American oystercatchers, and tree swallows were all visibly fighting over nesting spots.

Some harlequin ducks preening in the ocean. I especially like the right-hand duck which has rolled onto its back to preen its belly.

A sequence of a gannet diving off Breezy Point. These graceful birds hunt by plunging into the water and then swimming after the selected fish.

A piping plover leaving footprints in wet sand. These are tiny, endangered birds that breed on some of the beaches around NYC.

A common tern (Sterna hirundo) returning with a fish to a small colony near Breeze Point on Rockaway Beach. The seagulls would run into the colony and try to steal the fish from the returning parents.
