Willet be fall in July?

Actually there's been fall migration for the last week of June.  Mid-summer means big shorebirds start moving back south, especially following fronts.  Sadly I didn't have my camera with me when a Marbled Godwit appeared on the beach last week, but I had it today for a daybreak check.  Willets were flying about, trying to avoid the beach groomer.

It's always hard to get a decent composure of groups of birds.  They're even harder than kids to get all posed at once.

Laughing Gull sometimes summers on the beach, this is the most breeding plumage of the 3 birds that have been around.  This one was at Jean Klock, though 2 were at Tiscornia this afternoon.
