Long ride to the office. Then an hour home {sigh}
From 2016 again. One of my favorite shots of all time. A Sanderling and shadow and reflection. With food.
As usual Chincoteague NWR.
This one makes me feel like I have a clue I don’t. But luck was on my side

Thursday’s bird. From 2012 at my feeders. Purple Finch. Most likely a female. Might be a young male. According to @davidsibley.org, first year males are identical to females. Thanks David!
