A sanderling in the sea grass at low tide.
Black bellied plovers at different stages of molting. The one in the top picture has more black feathers and is still in his summer colors. The bottom one has lost most of his black feathers. He’ll be mostly white through the winter. The middle one was chewing on something yummy.
The ruddy turnstone also had something yummy to eat. The ruddy in the bottom picture still has his summer feathers.
It was strange seeing the osprey in the water with the laughing gulls. I caught him as he was finishing taking a bath. After a few minutes he took off.

Birds on the beach and fishing pier at Fort Desoto in late September.
These are absolutely amazing photos and I know how difficult it is to capture birds with your lens. Plovers are a favorite of mine. Thanks for sharing these.
You are so talented in your craft. Love the photos.
