No way I'm guessing about some sandpiper, but the bonus look like Black Skimmers with their elongate lower mandibles. Or is it reduced upper mandible? Or maybe one went one way and the other the other.
I think being from Missouri and guessing Sandpiper shoud get me something. Unless, of course, they aren't sandpipers. Bonus quiz? No idea, but I really like their faces!
are these the infamous skimmers? with the slack jaws?
ReplyDeleteHi BB
ReplyDeletewhat gorgeous beach pics - wish I was there.
Think Pic 1 are Curlews
Pic 2 - look like Terns - not sure of the species ? Great Crested. We have webbed feet and can't perch and neither do we swim
