https://mastodon.world/@wevdap/1...Sandpipers are more common on the shore, but some can also be seen when #birding inland in #massachusetts like this Solitary Sandpiper. I liked the combination of the light and dark patterns on the bird and in its background setting.

https://mastodon.world/@wevdap/1...Between rainstorms, #massachusetts #birding is experiencing the always-awaited spring migration. I've always liked the coloration of Black-throated Blue Warblers and was pleased to capture a view of this one close up earlier this week.

https://mastodon.world/@wevdap/1...Once in a while, #massachusetts #birding yields a view of something that looks like it belongs in the exotic tropics. I think this Yellow-crowned Night-Heron that appeared on Plum Island earlier this week qualifies. The white feathers streaming out behind the head mark its breeding plumage.

https://mastodon.world/@wevdap/1...I was surprised this week to see a larger (though still small) proportion of people wearing masks in a grocery store than in two medical facility waiting areas. It seems to me that there's probably higher risk in surroundings where people are present for purposes of medical treatment?

https://mastodon.world/@wevdap/1...When #birding, if I see a bird in flight I'll almost always try to aim and get focus on it without taking the time to attempt identification beforehand. Shoot first, ask ID questions later. This sometimes yields more Mallards and Canada Geese than I feel the need to collect, but also catches nice views like this Green-winged Teal preparing to land (to water?) in #massachusetts on a winter day
