Long-tailed Skipper |
This morning I spend the morning checking out the marshes from both sides of the creek. I drove along Shore Road stopping wherever it took my fancy and looked out to see what birds were around. It was going on high tide and yet still I was pleased with birds seen ~ unexpected shorebirds along with some ducks. But the biggest surprise was a pristine Long-tailed Skipper along the edge of the marsh. I loved watching this Hooded Merganser fight with the shrimp he caught. He finally was able to have some lunch.
