A Sanderling 2011-02-07 These small birds run up and down the edge of the waves all along the Gulf coast. Thanks for the interesting comments on the "Gater Bites". I did indeed have some (but not at this stand) and it was kind of like chicken - kind of a reptile McNuggets.

What? You're going out again? 2010-11-19 Reached back in the archives for this one from the spring in Marchegg, Lower Austria. "Here I am sitting all day on the eggs, and there you are preening yourself and getting ready to fly off. Don't forget to pick up some food on your way home. And don't be too late." I really aprreciate all the comments on the remembrance altar. It is indeed the time of year for remembrance.
