Some Birds from My Florida Trip
Apr 7, 2013 08:05:04 #
I was in Florida last month. I was hoping I would come home with some bird pictures. Here are a few of them.
American Coot
Anhinga
Common Gallinule (Moorhen)
Sandpiper (Is this a white-rumped sandpiper?)
Black Skimmer

Not up on my birds Mary, but like the expression on the Sandpipers face

These are really good photographs, Mary.You've done a wonderful job. Your sandpiper is a Willet. The last shot is of Black Skimmers with a Laughing Gull showing between the wings.

Thanks, BigBear. I looked up skimmer. My picture looks more like a black skimmer than a common tern, so I reedited the photo description. I knew someone on UHH would help me out. The first thing I noticed about the skimmer when I first saw it was its unusual beak.

It is a sandpiper, I'm leaning toward white rumped but in non-breeding plumage is hard to be definitive.

Thanks, the bird putting up its wings was an added bonus when I was taking its picture.

It is unusual as the lower mandible is longer than the upper.
