Recent rains melted the ice and opened up an ample food supply for them to forage. They are the first species of shorebirds to arrive in the area during spring migration.

They're little bob or bow that preceeds movement has always tickled me! YOU CAN IGNORE REALITY, BUT YOU CANNOT IGNORE THE CONSEQUENCES OF IGNORING REALITY. http://www.lptraplinesupply.com
