Thanks! Ashish, this bird is on the beach on the Gulf of Mexico. But, the Sarasota Bay has some neat birds, too.
I think Sarasota bay is wonderful place for spotting various species..
cute!
is really, really cute!
They are still doing fine and I discovered another nest with one egg 2 days ago.The egg pic is posted.
Thanks for the comments and the Favs. I really love these birds!
So cute and delicate. I hope the last 3 eggs will be safe.
Oh that's so interesting! I did not know it was threatened species!
I love these guys! I'm a chick checker on Siesta Beach...we've had 3 nests so far and all the eggs destroyed: crows, people, water inundation. There's now a new one with 3 eggs being incubated. They're a threatened species.
Oh this is so cute!
