Critique: NC:

I went with my grandchildren to Bolivar Flats around noon today, we walked the beach collecting shells. I got to play with this Long-billed Curlew.





Then some shots from the ferry around 2:30PM.

Nice shots!

When I was there a couple weeks ago, there was a Black Bellied Plover with a bum wing and injury to his eye. Anyone see him? I know it's nature's way, but I do hope he survived.

First two are my favorites! Wouldn't have mind looking for sea shells either.
