August 9, 2017, Wednesday — Cameron Cove —

Today I decided  to check out the river at high tide.  I wasn’t expecting to see much wildlife, but was pleased to find this Lesser Yellowlegs

 

 

 

 

 

At first I thought the tiny birds that seemed to be gathered around him were baby Yellowlegs.  However, when I checked out my Audubon Field Guide I discovered that they were Sanderlings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was more water in the river than when we were here last year, but I still wasn’t able to get that much farther up before I ran out of water.  When it got down to about a foot, I decided I’d better turn around.
