As we entered the beach, it was kind of hard miss the massive wrack line that spanned as far as we could see. We headed north, toward Jetty Park, which was a possible destination, so long as the threat of rain remained low.

I was happy to see that the abundance of sea debris attracted an abundance of shorebirds.

It was a good idea to watch your step today...
Luckily we avoided any painful steps...
Coming into to the port...
Have a relaxing weekend!

cool frog! almost eerie looking! nice shore birds. was not familiar with the term 'wrack line' before now. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely shots as usual Tammy. I love #3.
ReplyDeleteEven with rain in the forecast, the shore is fun! Wonderful post and lots of great birds. I agree with you that it's likely a Semipalmated Sandpiper - subject to change when someone who knows chimes in! :)
ReplyDeleteLove that frog! Great shots.
ReplyDeleteAmazing shot of the Semipalmated Plover with its reflection! I am no good with the other Semipalm ID's though, so I will keep my trap shut. Those blue jellyfish are pure evil, while that frog is just the opposite!
ReplyDeleteSemipalmated Sandpiper it is! Great array of pics.
ReplyDeleteLovely post Tammy, I love these shore birds!
ReplyDeleteWe have them too on the Atlantic coast.
Great little gecko too, they have such cute faces!
A lovely and lively post!
Cheers!
Great photos Tammy.
ReplyDeletePhoto 4 is my favorite.
I wish you a great weekend.
Best wishes, Irma
Hi Tammy .. Beautiful captures.. Great place.. Congratulations ..

ReplyDeleteTammy, I don't know how you do it, those pics are absolutely gorgeous, they are so clear and sharp. you must tell us your camera and setting sometime.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Gordon.

ReplyDeletePreciosas fotos de las limícolas Tammy.
ReplyDeleteMe gusta también la última de la rana.
Saludos!!
What a wonderful array of this beach and stone runners Tammy. This is really really enjoy. Beautiful bright and sharp detail. The nonbreeding Sanderling on photo 4 I find really beautiful! Jellyfish which I find less brrrr ..... but very nice set. Your little clicker on the last picture is really a topfoto!
ReplyDeleteGosh you got some terrific shots Tammy! Those jellyfish ~ I've never seen anything like that!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a most wonderful week!

Love the high step these birds are taking, so cute! The jelly fish look so beautiful. like watercolours and the last shot is priceless (glad it's okay.)
ReplyDeleteLove the birds, especially the Turnstone, superb.
ReplyDeleteOrdinary for you is something special for the rest of us:) Truly love that Jellyfish along with the semipalmated plover. The others are difficult for me to ID but hopefully I'll get there at some point:)
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos....Amazing...Like it !!
