Beth's Patch ~ On the Beach & In the Air

Forester's Tern
We had a storm early today and this is the view after the storm.





Feeding off what few horseshoe crab eggs there are on the beach are Semipalmated Sandpipers and Ruddy Turnstones.  Sadly, it's been too cold for the horseshoe crabs to come in and spawn which has caused an issue with the migratory shorebirds.

Shorebird Migration

Shorebird Migration is in full swing and along the Delaware Bay in front of the house
I see Royal Terns almost every day fishing, Semipalmated Sandpipers are feeding in the shallows along with Semipalmated Plovers and Sanderlings.
