Looks like they are going to become regular, 16 photographed on May 8, a
pair photographed on June 7 and now probably the same pair on July 4. This last
pair was found not 30 feet from where the June pair rested in the marsh and
may be the same birds but these birds feed continuously where the others
rested
most of the time. They fooled me at first being much drabber in my scope,
less white showing on the sides but after much more study and looking at the
June photos I've decided these birds are just in worn adult plumage. As before
you can tell the female has the paler beak and plumage and the male doing
most of the look out duties. Very handsome pair, photos at:
