Wandering Tattler (Tringa incana) is a spring and fall migrant seen on the Washington coast and occasionally in Puget Sound. I found this one while kayaking in the San Juan Islands a few years ago. Now that it's September, I'll be looking for these seasonal visitors again. They have a comical bouncy walk as they forage!
Me: hold still while I take a photo.
Bird: I'm just gonna take a nap here on these comfy barnacles.

WaderTales is a great blog written by Graham Appleton, full of articles looking at research relating to waders and shorebirds written in a very easy to understand way.
Here's a recent one looking at human disturbance impacts on shorebirds in Norfolk and Suffolk - "On the beach: breeding shorebirds and visiting tourists"

It's peep fall migration, better known a shorebird fall migration.
Which means I spend hours poring over photos of shorebirds in dull fall plumage, mumbling to myself, which bird is this?
For fellow birders, I believe this is a Least Sandpiper. Seen on the southwestern Lake Erie shore yesterday. Small, short dark bill, and more brown than gray.
Did I identify correctly?

A calm Gulf of Mexico with barely a ripple greeted us this evening as we made our way to the beach for sunset. Seagulls & a couple of shorebirds had gathered along the shoreline to relax at the end of the day. Taken right after sunset which often sees the best color.

An industrial development of this massive scale poses unacceptable risks to the sensitive environment here, which supports many #ThreatenedSpecies, including critically endangered #sawfish and #ShovelnoseRays, as well as #turtles, #dugongs, and migratory #shorebirds.
Please, keep fighting to protect the whole of the #Ningaloo ecosystem and act now.

"The hooded plover is a native shorebird found on the NSW South Coast. According to the NPWS, there are only 65 of the birdsย left in NSW."
"The NPWS urges beach-goers to be aware of the birds, and do things like give them space, leash dogs and walk them on wet sand, and avoid sand dunes."

Moin! It's #MeerMittwoch AND #WaderWednesday so here are some #waders at #Waddensea
The Wadden Sea is the largest unbroken system of intertidal sand and mud flats in the world.
It is not only beautiful but also important for millions of birds stopping by during their migration.
