Beach comber, a photo by ricmcarthur on Flickr.
While out on a release of turtle hatchlings this semipalmated plover came near the boat.
It was chasing another semipalmated and appeared agitated for some reason.
Shorebird migration is underway and we are hoping to get more species in the next few weeks.
